Creative Corner Gallery at Chapin Theatre Company Artist Bobbi Sorensen - January through March 2025
Congratulations to Bobbi Sorensen who is the featured artist at the Chapin Theatre Company's Creative Corner Gallery from January 1 through March 31, 2025. Bobbi is an active member of Crooked Creek Art League who has served as secretary and coordinator of exhibits at Still Hopes Retirement Community and Irmo Branch Library/Friends of the Library. She is currently coordinator for the Annual Juried Show. She generously volunteers to share her art in our public galleries.
Artist's Statement
Bobbi Sorensen is an award-winning visual artist living in SC. After experimenting with a variety of media, she now works exclusively in Oil, enjoying the freedom to depict landscapes and water scenes, as well as people, in traditional and non-traditional scenes. Except for commissioned work, Bobbi only occasionally provides an explanation of her work or her inspiration, believing that -- much like lyrics to music -- it is better to let the person experiencing the work determine what it means to them.

About the Artist
Roberta (Bobbi) Sorensen began studying art in College in Los Angeles in the 1960s, earned an art degree from the University of Maryland, and a master’s degree from George Washington University. One of the works created at the U of M was purchased by the University for its permanent collection.
After graduation, Bobbi worked for five years on the US Senate Labor Committee, as a registered lobbyist, and association executive for several health-related organizations. She finished out her career as Executive Director of the Washington Center for Psychoanalysis, a training institute affiliated with George Washington University. During these years she limited herself to doing occasional charcoal portraits.
Bobbi semi-retired, moved to SC, and joined the Crooked Creek Art League, which she credits for stimulating her interrupted creative growth. She served as CCAL’s Secretary, bylaws chair, and as Chair of the Fall Juried Show at Still Hopes in 2019, 2021, and 2022. She currently serves as Chair of the 2025 CCAL Annual Juried Show. After finally setting up a home studio and picking up a brush, Bobbi entered CCAL juried shows and has won several awards including first place Amateur in 2020, third place Master’s in 2021, and Best of Show at the 2023 Still Hopes Exhibition.
Other work can be viewed at www.bobbisorensenart.com, and on a CCAL website online gallery.

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).
