Sharon Christian (1950 – July 6, 2015; also known by her married name, Sharon Holmes) was a Canadian artist[1] known for her paintings and sculptures, many of which document intimate encounters with nature.

Christian developed a unique style "beyond realism"[2] through which she advanced a number of themes including the tension between urban and natural environments,[3] and the relationships between contemporary art (including music), historical traditions, and individual experience.[4] Christian documented the changing landscape and demographics of Western Canada.[5]
