Alice Reid (she/her) is a writer and librarian living on the lands of the Wurundjeri People in Victoria, Australia. She’s the perfect example of how study and career pathways in the arts can be circuitous and unexpected, with different life stages requiring different study options to open up new creative ventures.
Reid grew up in Adelaide and moved to Melbourne in 2007 at the tender age of 21, after completing her Bachelor of Visual Art at the University of South Australia the previous year. She soon abandoned art-making.
