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, and despite living in various corners of the world, her commitment to her artistic practice has remained steadfast.Today, she works daily from her permanent home studio and gallery.

Christy’s work is deeply fueled by her life on the water—whether she is sketching the lines of the local marina or cruising the Gulf Islands aboard her sailboat. These experiences inspire her to capture the ocean's shifting personality, freezing a distinct moment in time, from a crashing wave to a quiet pause.

Through a playful, semi-abstract style, Christy translates the dynamism and raw energy of the sea onto canvas. Her cohesive use of bold brushstrokes, lines, textures, and mixed media reveals her fun nature and a love for what lies hidden beneath the surface. A local and international exhibitor, Christy warmly welcomes visitors to her evolving studio to experience her creative journey firsthand.
