In 1996 Keith Reed was sponsored by Fisher's Fine Arts of Christchurch to undertake a painting and study trip to England, France and Venice. As a result his paintings now show a variety of influences. Born in England and emigrating to Dunedin in 1954, Keith Reed attended school at Otago Boys' High. When only sixteen he held his first exhibition in which three-quarters of the works displayed were sold. He moved to Christchurch in the early 1960s to attend the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts, attaining his Diploma of Fine Arts in 1968.
