James "Jim" Leedy (November 6, 1930 – 2021) was an American artist, educator, and community leader best known for his pioneering work in ceramics, sculpture, painting, and public art. Associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement, Leedy played a central role in transforming American ceramics into a fine art form and was one of the first artists to apply the ethos of Abstract Expressionism to clay. A key figure in the American Clay Revolution, he also made lasting contributions to the Kansas City arts community through teaching and civic leadership.[1][2]
