Michael Reedy

Mike Reedy’s art makes me uncomfortable. Big time. In his drawings and paintings he addresses issues of privacy, intimacy and exposure which are over-occupying my thoughts recently. Looking at his works isn’t really helping me get my mind off those topics but definitely gives me a way to try to resolve them.

Mr. Reedy got his Master of Fine Arts in Painting form the Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL in 2004. His education laid the solid base for  the avalanche of awards and academic work that followed – the latest one being third place at Being Human, Union Street Gallery and full-time Associate Professor at the Eastern Michigan University in Drawing. A selection of his captivating and somewhat worrying art you can see in the gallery below.
