CK REED IS A MURAL ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATOR WITH A SIGNATURE MIX OF VIVID TONES AND BOTANICAL MOTIFS.
CK Reed (b. 1988, Pittsburgh, PA) is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in painting, large-scale murals, papier-mâché sculpture, textile and wallpaper design, watercolor illustrations, and mixed-media collages. She received her BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design majoring in Fibers. Now working between Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago. Best known for her site-specific murals and watercolor illustrations inspired by world travels, Reed captures the essence of places through a distinctive, imaginative style. Her work focuses on bold compositions featuring botanical motifs, created from direct experiences in the moment.

Notable projects include murals for the City of West Hollywood, The Soho House in Los Angeles, and The Standard Hotel in Miami. Additionally, her illustrations recapping art fairs Design Miami LA and Art Basel Miami in both 2022 and 2024 were published in Surface Magazine.
