Reed has shown nationally in both galleries and museums such as Danese/Corey in New York City, Fitchburg Art Museum, Massachusetts; Columbia Museum of Art, South Carolina and Sears-Peyton Gallery, New York City. Furthermore, Reed’s works are in several public and private collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Art Institute of Chicago, Fidelity Investment Corporation, Boston and National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming.
