About the Artist
Sandra Oliver
North Carolina native and 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 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. Her painting, "Camelia Trio," has been on exhibit since September 2024 at the Newberry Opera House as part of an inaugural year-long art exhibition showcasing the renovation of the Opera House.
An active member of Crooked Creek Art League since 2014, Sandra has served as president, Juried Art Exhibition co-chair, workshop coordinator, and publicity coordinator. She is also a member of Newberry Made.

CCAL Gallery Host:
CCAL is thrilled to collaborate with the Chapin Theatre Company to present visual along with performing arts at the home of the Chapin Theatre Company. The gallery occupies a front corner of the theatre lobby with space for both wall hanging and free-standing art (on a table in the gallery corner). The artwork can be viewed during normal hours of operation.
This exhibit hosts up to 12 wall hanging pieces and 6 free standing pieces. This exhibit rotates every three months. Artists are encouraged to donate a portion of any sales back to the Chapin Theatre Company to help support their operations (10% is recommended).
