A.REID STUDIO

A.Reid was born in 1954 in Atlanta Georgia, the first of 4 children born to a former Korean War trainer pilot and a professional clown and horseback instructor mother who had been a stewardess for American Airlines. He grew up outside Hardscuffle Tennessee in a rural home on a former battlefield position of Confederate General Hood's retreat. As a young child he met Walt Disney in person when his parents were background extras during filming of "The Great Locomotive Chase". That fateful encounter would carry him through his early interest in drawing, painting, skits and collecting artifacts, peculiar curios, and nature specimens. His parents enrolled him to take art lessons from the legendary Chris Tibbott of Nashville, (still active in her mid nineties).
