About The Artist
Statement:
Gulfsprite (Christy Sobolewski) is passionate about and invigorated by the average everyday world around her. She sees beauty and inspiration in many of the things we take for granted. None of the things around her inspire her more than her environment.
Gulfsprite is a Florida native whose parents chose to raise her on a sailboat until school age. This lifestyle provided her with much joy and appreciation of the sea and islands surrounding South Florida. Loving Florida living has led Gulfsprite to spend most of her adult life planted firmly in the Florida sun and sand.
Gulfsprite believes we humans carry within us the individual and original passions and desires of a unique being. It is for her a belief that mediocrity is pushed and cultivated in our society. And she holds that this is happening most especially to our young and the creative and artistic among us.
Gulfsprite works primarily in acrylics on canvas and her pieces always have a touch of mixed-media that gives her art a unique characteristic not often found in the work of traditional fine artists.
