Step into the world of Sally Shelton Nooney — fine artist, gallery owner, and teacher in the beautiful North Carolina High Country. For more than two decades, Sally has captured the wild beauty of the Appalachian mountains, the quiet drama of still life, and the lively spirit of animals in oil, watercolor, and acrylic.
"When I create, I relax, smile, dream, become inspired. My hope is to convey these things to the viewer." — Sally Nooney
Her paintings are owned by private collectors and corporate clients across the country. Her work has graced the covers of All About Women, High Country Living, and Carolina Mountain Life.
