The 2025 Artist in Residence Program consists of two residencies for two weeks each in one of two Sunbury Shores’ studios –ceramics studio and metal studio. The goal of the residency is to provide a supportive environment where artists can pursue specific projects relating to their creative work. The artists in residence will also contribute to the promotion and understanding of the arts by means of the artists’ contact with the community, Sunbury Shores members, and visitors.
Artists in Residence
Christine Koch
April 16 – April 30, 2024
Newfoundland-based artist Christine Koch will be Artist in Residence at Sunbury Shores from April 13 – 27 , 2024. Koch is a well-known and respected printmaker and painter and her residency will take place in the Print Studio.
Christine’s artistic practice over the past two decades has led her to travel throughout northern Canada and work with geologists in Nunatsiavut and Nunavut, with geographers on the glaciers of the Torngat Mountains (Nunatsiavut), with northern ecologists in the Yukon, and with oceanographers and marine biologists in the Labrador Sea, Baffin Bay, and the Northwest Passage.
The result of her expeditions is a collection of images based on the remote and dramatic landscapes she saw, while her artwork portrays the beauty and vulnerability of the environments she explored. There will be a Meet the Artist with Christine on Saturday, April 27 from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.
