Reid Winfrey has always been able to draw and holds realism as the honest test of a draftsman.

As an instructor at USV, he has the opportunity to study and practice realistic rendering. As an artist, he approaches realism in terms of the challenge of creating images that have “painterliness,” or the sensuality of paint and color and obvious hand of the painter. His work has been shown throughout California and the United States as well as Europe and Asia.
