I like to make stuff, and it makes me feel good to share and make others happy. When I see a tomato, I don’t know if I want to paint it or cook it. All my life I have enjoyed playing with ideas both old and new, in the kitchen and in the art studio. They share a similar creative process, where experimentation and expression utilizing learned techniques and styles come together to create great works and amazing experiences.

J Reed Ventures was created as a vehicle to enable me to explore my two passions, as a foodie and as a painter.
