Christy Sverre is a full-time abstract artist based in Gibsons, a picturesque seaside town on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast.


She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria in 1981, and while her adult life led her to various corners of the world, her commitment to her artistic practice has remained steadfast. Now based in Gibsons, she has established a permanent studio and gallery in her seaside home, where she works daily.


Christy is often seen along the seawall, observing the lines and shapes of the marina, or out on her sailboat cruising the edges of the Gulf Islands. These experiences fuel her inspiration, as she seeks to see the world differently and reveal something unique in what she feels and observes. This approach shines in all of her work, whether it is a seascape, floral, or abstract, where she likes to reveal her fun nature and love of what lies hidden beneath.


The cohesive thread weaving through Christy's body of work lies in her brush strokes, lines, textures, and colors, all infused with her collective energy and passion on canvas.


With a portfolio that spans both local and international exhibitions, Christy's dynamic studio is a constantly evolving space, filled with fresh works of art. Visitors are warmly welcomed to explore her collection, providing a glimpse into her creative journey.
