Nancy Noel

Nancy Noel is an American artist based in Zionsville, Indiana.[1]

Early life

Noel holds a fine arts degree from the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati.[2] When first starting out in the business, she went by the name N.A. Noel because she wanted people to think she was famous in the art world at the time.[3] In 1970, she opened her first art gallery in the Village of Zionsville, Indiana and went looking for a publisher to make prints of her work shortly thereafter. Unable to find one, she started publishing her prints herself. Since, she has sold over a million copies of her originals.[1]

The Sanctuary

In 2005, Noel purchased an old Victorian church on Main Street in Zionsville, and renovated it into an art gallery that holds her full collection of work.[1]

Philanthropic work

Nancy Noel is also a committed philanthropist. Most notably, she sponsors a preschool in Inbuto, Kenya that is named after her.[1]
