Originally from Southwest Virginia and a resident of Fort Myers since 1980, JoAnne Bedient has emerged as one of Southwest Florida's premier clay artists. Perhaps best known for her ceramic shoes, she blends realism and fantasy in her inventive designs. Bedient graduated from Fort Hays Kansas State University with a degree in ceramics. Bedient maintains her preference for hand-building pieces instead of using a potter's wheel, but discovering raku firing revolutionized her work. Bedient feels there is always more to be learned and continues to study, read and take workshops. Her work can be found in galleries and juried shows throughout the United States.<BR>Camille is a sculpted, raku fired clay bust. Camille is a survivor. She survived the fires necessary to the process of becoming who and what she is.
