Biography:
Reinhold was born in Alice Springs. His mother and father were both from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) and thus Reinhold’s fathers dreaming and his own are Mt. Hermannsburg.
As a young man Reinhold was an ace AFL football player but an accident resulted in a brain injury that stopped him from playing. Reinhold is married to Cathy (Jennifer) Wirri and has two daughters with her. Watercolour artist Kevin Wirri is his father in law.
Reinhold taught himself to paint by drawing first. He loves to paint and draw his father’s country. He paints beautiful landscapes with great technique and unusual and interesting uses of colour.
His grandparents the Pareroultja's taught Reinhold to paint when he was a school child using pencils. Artist Ivy Pareroultja is like a mother to Reinhold.
