About the artist Colette Reimnitz
Biography
Colette Reimnitz is a former native of Dalhousie, New Brunswick and is now residing in Dieppe, NB with her husband Roger Reimnitz and some of their kids.
Colette Reimnitz graduated from Moncton's Teacher's College in 1972. Colette Reimnitz was a student of Sister Eulalie Boudreau and during this period she discovered what would become her lifelong medium, plaster.
Being a person of faith, Colette asked God to inspire her work in sculpting and from then on, her art began to flourish. Trusting in God to guide her hand, she no longer has to sketch her pieces. After a prayer to the Holy Spirit, she cuts directly into the wet plaster, anticipating what will appear.
Her sculptures, collectively known as Inspirart, have often ministered. It is not unusual for them to move spectators, and even the artist, to tears. Reimnitz believes this is God's love that He allows to flow through her visual art as He does through Christian music.
Colette Reimnitz thanks the Lord Jesus for being ever present in her life and in her art.

Biographie
Originaire de Dalhousie au Nouveau-Brunswick, Colette Reimnitz est diplômée de l'école normale de Moncton dès 1972. Elle a été l'élève de Soeur Eulalie Boudreau et c'est à cette époque qu'elle découvre le médium qu'elle privilégie encore aujourd'hui, le plâtre.
Artiste très croyante, Colette demande à Dieu de l'inspirer dans sa sculpture et constate que son art commence à s'épanouir. Elle cesse alors d'avoir besoin d'ébaucher ses œuvres et s'en remet à Dieu pour diriger son geste. Après avoir prié le Saint-Esprit, elle coupe directement dans le plâtre humide, guettant le résultat.
Ses sculptures, rassemblées sous le vocable Inspirart, ont une portée pastorale, et il arrive souvent qu'elle émeuvent les spectateurs, et même l'artiste, jusqu'aux larmes. Selon Reimnitz, il s'agit là du courant d'amour que Dieu laisse couler dans l'art visuel comme Il le fait pour la musique chrétienne.
Colette Reimnitz remercie le Seigneur Jésus d'occuper une si grande place dans son cœur et dans son art.
