    Jack Reid was born June 1, 1925, in Toronto. When starting out, he sold his art in shopping mall's art shows, anywhere he could. Jack worked as a graphic artist until 1970, and only then did he venture into the world of "pure art" full-time, with little security and no formal training. What he knows, he taught himself; what he paints is what he feels. His love of the art of watercolour is total. "There's a tremendous attraction that the transparency of watercolour holds for me," he says. "The things I want to paint have to do with water - snow, rain, fog and reflections. I'm fascinated by their translucent nature. And what do I paint them with? A water-soluble pigment! It's profoundly appropriate." His career in total spanned six decades, with pieces of his work ending up in a variety of public and private collections, including in Windsor Castle in Queen Elizabeth II’s personal collection. He passed away in April of 2009.
