As an orphan he moved to Hartford, CT, and studied painting and decorating at the Connecticut State Trade School. In the 1940s, Reed studied portraiture and still life painting at the Scott Carbee School of Art in Boston, eventually receiving an Atlanta University purchase prize for his work. Reed was also a cofounder of both the Boston Negro Artists Association (now the Boston African American Artists Association), and the African-American Master Artists in Residence at Northwestern University.
