Laurie Reid (born 1964) is an American artist living in Berkeley, California.
Reid was a close friend and collaborator of poet and writer Barbara Guest. Together they created and published the book Symbiosis in 2000.
Reid's work makes use of gravity (what she refers to as "chance") upon the physical materials, sometimes like sculpture. An art writer described this as "She lets the paint affect the paper in whatever way it will, and the result is a billowing, textured surface." Reid has said: "I do sometimes use a grid, and other formal constructs, but there’s always the human hand involved. Psyche, material, form—it is a concoction that has to be brewed just right."
As of 2017, she teaches at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Reid's work is included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; The Hammer Museum of Art, Los Angeles; The San Francisco Museum of Art, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) among others.
