Background
Born in Regina, Saskatchewan
in 1930, Richard Reid now lives in Christina Lake, British Columbia,
300 miles east of Vancouver. Richard received his BFA at the
University of Manitoba in 1955. He lived and worked in
Mexico for several months, and then for five years in Europe.
He returned to Canada in 1964. From 1965 to 1970, he painted
and taught part time with the Vancouver School Board in the Adult
Education Program. From 1970 to 1979, he was with the Fine
Arts Department at UBC, as Assistant Professor and Chairman of
the BFA Program. After leaving Vancouver, Richard became
the founding Director of the Grand Forks Art Gallery (1984-2003)
and a teacher in ECCAD’s Outreach Program. His work
has been exhibited widely, nationally and internationally in
over 80 solo and group exhibitions. See
