Christy Sverre
Gibsons, British Columbia
Christy Sverre is a contemporary artist living and working in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast, BC.
As well as a degree in Fine Art Christy has studied with many artists over the years.
Her experiences and observations at sea while sailing the local waters inform her textural seascapes. She fills many sketch books with her lines, shapes and ideas to later use in the studio. Capturing the moods of the sea and projecting its deep energy is a prime focus of her seascape work.
She paints flowers with the same passion and is most interested in their life and energy. Her blooms burst upwards out of the chaos of leaves and stems resulting in uplifting floral abstractions.

I think my work talks about being happy and alive. Whether it is the ocean's deep and ever changing moods or the explosive energy of flowers I strive for an uplifting feeling in my work.
