A Brush With Life
#8 -Life About Face w/Kevin Ian Reid
Please leave me your feedback and ideas here!
Kevin Ian Reid was the Orofacial Pain Specialist at Rochester's Mayo Clinic for 26 years. He had never studied art, but in order to cope with the strain of working with so many people suffering from pain, he began painting, especially abstract faces that often evoked pain.
When Reid retired, he decided to return to school to study art at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, immersing himself in painting and metal sculpture and earning his MFA. He built a cabin and studio in the woods where he creates enormous colorful, abstract paintings and large-scale welded metal sculptures. He also plays drums in the band Incognito.
