Jim Reid lives in Caledon, Ontario. His work inhabits the often-conflicted ground where nature entangles with culture, and the marginal spaces between urban and rural land. Peel Plain 16-13-16 is part of a series of paintings that eulogize the rapidly-disappearing open spaces of the Peel Plain, a geophysical region on the edge of the GTA. These vistas did not form naturally but are the product of cultural upheaval as early colonists displaced the original inhabitants, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, felling the old-growth forests to accommodate agriculture.

Now the farmland is being erased by development. The paintings are serene, yet energetic and chaotic, reflecting the conflicting forces in this changing landscape. Reid is represented by Lonsdale Gallery, Toronto, and his work is in the collections of Art Gallery of Hamilton, MacLaren Art Centre, Art Gallery of Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Whyte Museum, and the Art Gallery of Mississauga, among others.
