Sibylle Rett Becomes an Angel for the Carmelite Missions
by Sal Lema, Director of
Carmelite Communications
Sibylle Rett, a
former social
worker and
teacher who was
born and educated
in what was once
West Berlin, has
donated a limited
series of portraits on angels to the
Order of Carmelites, in the hopes
that the sale of her art will benefit
Carmelite Missions across the globe.
An inspirational artist for the past
two decades, Sybyille Rett can best
describe her work as “expressions of
life, its intrigues and mysteries”. Her
creations produced in water color or
other medium invite you into a world
of serenity and harmony, and yet they
still encourage and stimulate the
viewer’s own imagination. It is
Sybille’s hope that each viewer interprets
her paintings in a way that is
inspiring and personally meaningful.
The ten donated art renderings
which depict angels in thoughtprovoking
postures have been reproduced
as a limited series of prints
available exclusively at the Carmelite
Gift Shop in Darien, Illinois, with all
proceeds going, at the request of Sibylee, to the Carmelite Missions. As
of today, over $1,000 in proceeds has
been generated through her kindness.

The proceeds from “Angel of Inspiration”
and other paintings by benefactor and
painter Sibylle Rett support the Carmelite

The inspired Sibylle Rett perceives
the world through artist’s eyes,
rather than through the lens of a
camera. Her use of water medium
and mixed media produces a style
that is contemporary and uniquely
her own. Sybille’s subjects have
included scenes that project the
harmony of nature.
Her distinctive images of people
present gentle figures that relate to
each other and their natural surroundings.
Skillful combinations of
form and color have caused viewers
to comment on a unique spiritual
quality present in Sybille’s paintings.
Her artwork has become part of
various corporate and private collections
throughout Canada and the
United States, and her work resides in
the Vatican as well. Her paintings
continue to be displayed in numerous
annual solos, community and professional
art exhibitions.
