Leslie Reid's work has long explored the perceptual and psychological sensations evoked by the experience of a particular place. Her paintings, prints, videos and photographs bring together the sensory effects of light and space with the lived history of that place, often through references to family, and touch on those feelings of danger, refuge and survival that reside there. Born in Ottawa (1947) Leslie Reid studied at Queen’s University and continued her studies in England. She has had solo exhibitions in Canada, England, France, and the USA. Her work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada, the Musée d’art contemporain in Montreal, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts among others. The paintings in her series Glacial are part of a larger body of multimedia works which explores imagery from the artist’s residency in the North with the Canadian Forces Artists Program in 2013.
