An Elected Member of the National Sculpture Society, Reed has exhibited across the United States, from the ACCI Gallery in Berkeley, California to the Academy Center of the Arts in Lynchburg, Virginia and the SummerArts Fest in White昀椀sh, Montana to the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, Texas. He has been commissioned to preserve the likeness of Oklahoma’s most notable sons and daughters, including Kate Barnard, Hannah Diggs Atkins, Perle Mesta, Clara Luper, James R. Scales, and Chief Allen Wright, just to name a few. Reed’s list of honors and awards is lengthy, including Artist in Residence at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City, named Best in Show by the Chisholm Trail Arts Council in Duncan, 3rd place in the Academy Center of the Arts Juried Expedition in Lynchburg, Virginia, and the Leila Gardin Sawyer Memorial Award during The American Artists Professional League’s 83rd Grand National Expedition in New York City, New York. Represented by the JRB Gallery in Oklahoma City’s historic Paseo district and Illume Gallery West in Philipsburg, Montana, Reed remains committed to telling new stories and bringing to fruition for the world to see the many ideas he has “roaming around in his mind.” Reed said, “Art has given me a passion. I don’t think there is anything I would rather do other than make art. It’s taught me that having a passion in life is so important to having direction in life. I think that people need direction in life to develop and progress as a person.” FLETCHER SUNDOWN SPAIN BRONZE BY LAQUINCEY REED. 8
