Mrs. Reid was one of the earliest artists to exhibit in Vancouver, and in 1890
exhibited in the First Annual
Exhibition of the Vancouver Art Association, winning a gold
medal for a crayon landscape. The exhibition catalogue for that show listed her as a Director
of the Association.
"The gold medal ... for crayon landscape, given
by Mayor Oppenheimer, (was won) by Mrs. Reid."
