Bo BedilionCeramicist from Columbia, MO
Bo Bedilion is a ceramics professor and gallery director at Columbia College. His series of vessels and platters focus on form and surface and how it interacts with functional objects. These forms and the colors used in his work take inspiration from the lakes and streams around Columbia, MO and his urban travels around the country. Compositions made up of a series of plates hung on the wall serve both the purpose of being an artwork and its function as a vessel for serving dinner. “Designing the pieces and making the pieces for use is a much more subtle artform than some of the others,” states Bedilion.

Jay ReedAcrylic Painter & Mixed Media Sculpturist from Ottawa, IL
Jay Reed is a landscape painter and mixed media artist who focuses on natural environments and materials throughout his work. Reed explains, “I have an intense desire to protect the natural environment and to experience as much of its beauty as possible in my life.” With his paintings, his goal is to create a lifelike scene that viewers can be drawn into. Reed incorporates salvaged materials leftover from building sites to create free standing, mixed media sculptures.
