About the Artist:
Sandra Oliver
North Carolina native and a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G), Sandra Oliver has called South Carolina home since 1976. She retired from the South Carolina public schools after teaching business, mathematics, and adult education in Orangeburg and Newberry.
She first developed an interest in art after moving to Newberry, SC, in 1993 when she studied pastel and oil painting for a brief period. Sandra did not resume her art studies until mid-2011, when she began watercolor lessons with Anna Kay Singley. She has also participated in numerous watercolor, acrylic, and drawing workshops.
Sandra’s primary medium is watercolor, although she occasionally works in acrylics and mixed media. She has been juried into the South Carolina State Fair Fine Arts Exhibit, Amateur Division, every year since 2011 (Merit Award, Fine Art Amateur award in 2022 for watercolor painting, “Mommie’s Graduation”). She has also exhibited paintings in Crooked Creek Annual Juried Art Exhibition (Post Card Award in 2017 for mixed media painting, “Orchid”), Union County Arts Council Juried Art Show, Still Hopes Exhibit, and Irmo Library Exhibit.
An active member of Crooked Creek Art League since 2014, Sandra has served as president, Juried Art Exhibition co-chair, workshop coordinator, and is currently publicity chair. She is also a member of Newberry Made.

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.
