He often utilizes recycled spray cans, signage, and other overlooked materials as his canvas for painting and silk screening.In September 2021, Reinhold took the helm as Director of Sea Walls Santa Cruz, introducing the PangeaSeed Foundation's esteemed global program, Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans, to the shores of Santa Cruz, California—the initiative aimed to illuminate pressing ocean conservation issues by creating 19 thought-provoking murals.The Sea Walls project came to fruition in just one week, thanks to the collaborative efforts of over twenty-five artists hailing from Santa Cruz and beyond. These expansive artworks are poignant reminders of locally relevant marine environmental challenges, including plastic pollution, ocean acidification, warming seas, biodiversity loss, and environmental justice.The impact of this project reverberates throughout Santa Cruz, reshaping the city's public art landscape and heralding a new era of artistic expression intertwined with advocacy.
