Life and work

Reid earned a degree in art history and political science from Queen's University in 1968.[3] After graduation, she moved to London, England and proceeded to study painting and printmaking at various institutions, including the Byam Shaw School of Art (1968-1970), the Chelsea School of Art and Design (1970-1971), and the Slade School of Fine Art (1976-1977).[3]

In 1972, she began teaching drawing and painting at the University of Ottawa.[3] In 1976, Reid's work was included in the exhibition, Some Canadian Women Artists at the National Gallery of Canada.[4] Her work has since been collected by numerous other institutions in Canada and the United States, including the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Ottawa Art Gallery, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Whyte Museum, the Richard L. Nelson Gallery at the University of California (Davis), and many more.[4] In 1978, Reid was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.[3]

She is now Professor Emeritus in the Visual Arts Department at the University of Ottawa following her retirement as a Full Professor in the Department in 2007.[4]
