Growing up surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Kootenay region instilled in Cranbrook artist Paul Reimer a love of nature that inspires his art. Trained as a blacksmith at the Kootenay Forge, he became head blacksmith at Fort Steele Heritage Town and now owns his own blacksmithing business.
The graceful strength of Potential demonstrates Paul’s vision of how art can facilitate positive changes in the way people relate to their community and each other: when we lift up those around us, we ourselves cannot help but be lifted up as well, achieving heights we could never reach alone.
