Reed Hearne

Reed Hearne is an artist, photographer, and published writer of Fiction. At the age of nineteen, he left Phoenix, Arizona to be self-supporting and to live most of his life in California. He lived in San Francisco for thirty years and earned a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of San Francisco and an MA in English from San Francisco State University. During that early period, he interned with renowned art historian Carl Loeffler at La Mammelle. It was there that he participated in chronicling the emerging international, contemporary art scene blossoming on the West Coast in tandem with technology and the Internet. During the nineties he concentrated on writing and published a dozen short stories in literary journals, both in print and online. In 2007, he returned to the Sonoran Desert, where he has deep family roots that go back to the pioneer settling of the West. This full circle geographical return is perhaps what instigated a spiritual return to Fine art, which remains his first love and passion. His work has been featured in individual and group shows in the U.S. and abroad. In 2024, Reed’s work was exhibited at the Tucson Museum of Art for the Arizona Biennale. His prints are included in public and private collections around the world.
