Palmetto Fine Arts Gallery: Bobbi Sorensen

Crooked Creek Art League thanks Palmetto Fine Arts (PFA) for generously providing a dedicated space for two of our artists to showcase their art among the great display of Fine Art in their gallery. You can see the current exhibit through the end of March 2025. Featured in the current exhibit with multiple pieces is CCAL artist Bobbi Sorensen. Bobbi is an award-winning artist and served the league in many positions, most recently as coordinator of the Annual Juried Art Show. She frequently generously volunteers to share her art in our public galleries.

About the Artist

Bobbi Sorensen

Bobbi Sorensen is a visual artist living in Columbia SC. Working exclusively in oils, she paints people in both non-traditional and formal poses, as well as landscapes and water scenes. She 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, as well as the 2025 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.
