Richard Reed - Richard B Reed Studios

I was born in Grants Pass Oregon, and I am an American artist professional shelf taught watercolorist, and illustrator. The statement, “If it's real, then it's beautiful” is how I sum up how I view the fine art media industry.

It was natural gift to find watercolor/acrylic as my chosen medium in my artist profession. It’s a lifelong love of the art, creativity, and learning that brought me to realization that my calling is watercolor/acrylic painting.
Painting whether it is a human portrait, animal portrait, landscape, or seascape it is my passion that speaks to me. I believe trying, and learning new things is the road to finding who we are as a person’s inner soul. I feel my art portrays this sense of impressionistic realism style within my work.
I feel my work possess a strong sense of artistry and forward thinking that when people see it the work calls to their inner soul. I credit my love of the art and its beauty to my parents Earl and Louis Reed who always encouraged me in my creative endeavors.
