LaQuincey Reed is a figurative sculptor from Oklahoma City. Born in Lawton, Oklahoma to a military family. He has always had an interest in art. In fact, his earliest memories of making art are of drawing on his grandmother’s sun porch with his uncles. Because of his father’s job in the army, his family moved to New Jersey, Texas and Hawaii before coming back to Lawton, Oklahoma where he would finish high school. After high school, he graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a BFA in studio art. Directly after college, LaQuincey worked on the Oklahoma Landrun monument as a sculpture assistant for 6 years. That project depicts life and a half horse and riders making a dash for land in the unassigned lands of Oklahoma. After his time as a sculpture assistant, LaQuincey worked in the public schools as an art teacher for 9 years. He taught middle school and high school art in the Oklahoma public school system and in Jones, OK. Currently, he is an Elected Member of the National Sculpture Society. He has been commissioned to complete works for the Oklahoma City Zoo, the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Baptist University, the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center in Duncan, OK, the Oklahoma State Capitol, the city of Cheyenne, WY and other institutions. His work was part of South Carolina’s Brookgreen Gardens’ exhibit on Emerging Stars in American Sculpture and is an annual exhibitor at the Buffalo Bill Art Show in Cody, Wyoming. From 2022-2023, he was the artist in residence at the Skirvin Hilton hotel.
