Joel Reid has developed a unique art style, drawing on the traditions of abstract expressionism. His raw and emotionally-charged paintings have a graphic quality and signature of urban graffiti, but his works are more introspective. They are not specifically intended to make people feel, see, or think anything in particular, but rather to communicate visual concepts that are authentic and deeply meaningful to the artist. His works have been described as deceptively simple and very powerful.

He is most noted for his abstracts in charcoal, acrylics, oils, and spray-paint. His work has been shown in solo and group shows in Penticton, Kamloops, Merritt, and Vancouver. His main focus continues to be painting, but he has been working on other projects over the past few years, including greeting cards, prints, t-shirts and other textiles.
