Art enhances our sacred space at CCC. Throughout the year, changing exhibits in our "in-house" gallery — the walls of our Sanctuary and Seminar Room ~ feature different artists and media, brought to us by members of our Arts Team.
CCC's own Bobbie Nelson is Rock Hill Gallery's featured artist.
Her work will be on display from mid-September through November 30th, 2022.
All are invited to a reception on October 9th from 11:30 to 2:00 PM.

Artist's Statement
Am I an artist? My mother and father thought so. They were creative and they encouraged my art. Dad bought me art supplies. Mom liked to say I showed early artistic talent back when I was a baby and smeared the contents of my dirty diaper all over the wall. I painted a topless hula dancer when I was four. I didn’t know why Mom made such a fuss about it. She was always after me to “pursue” my art. Sometimes I wonder where I’d be if I had pursued it, but I had other priorities, and remain largely self taught and ever learning.
I love working on-site or taking photos of special things and then spending the time to capture the magic I see and feel. The only downside is having the time to paint. For every one I do, there are ten more I want to do, and ten more techniques to try. Every painting is a work in progress, indicating what to try next. I like the challenge, but must set that aside to let the painting flow as it will, to let it have its own life. Best of all is when the finished painting, however it turns out, gives me the same pleasure I felt when I decided to paint that awesome bit of nature or that child’s joy and innocence.
Do you have your own bit of magic for me to paint ~ a cherished pet, favorite sanctuary or the inner world of someone very special? Please contact me and let’s talk about it.
