Born 1952 in the village of Croix des Bouquets. Croix-des-Bouquets is home to such great Haitian sculptors as the late Georges Liautaud and Murat Brierre, the brothers Louisjuste, and Gabriel Bien-Aimé. Jolimeau worked for two years as apprentice to Seresier Louis-Juste after he finished high school. Today he is one of Haiti’s two (along with Bien-Aimé) leading metal sculptors. Jolimeau's work has been exhibited internationally and is published in Where Art is Joy (Rodman, 1988), Forgerons duVodou/ Voodoo Blacksmiths (Foubert, 1990), and A Haitian Celebration: Art and Culture (Stebich, 1992).
