About the Artist:
Ruth Collier

I first became interested in painting years ago by watching Bob Ross videos. More recently I saw a simple palm tree painting in Newberry which I attempted to recreate. As a self-taught painter, I use acrylics and mainly do abstracts. I like to try new things that can be quickly painted. I am an active member of the art league and volunteer to hang my paintings in the public galleries.
CCAL Gallery Host:
The Coffee Shelf has long been a place to enjoy a wonderful brew and tasty sweets in a comfortable environment. What better place to also enjoy art? We are excited to partner with The Coffee Shelf to showcase the artwork of local artists.
Two artists are featured in this gallery with each display. Each artist has a 8x10 wall to display a dozen or more pieces of wall hanging artwork. The displays rotate every two months. The gallery, which is located in the lobby of The Coffee Shelf at 130 Amicks Ferry Road in Chapin, is open to the public during normal business hours.
