Nancy Noel's Sanctuary



When my mother was in town last week, I took her to Nancy Noel's Sanctuary in Zionsville, Indiana. It's a place where you can enjoy Nancy's beautiful paintings and have a delightful lunch.  





Nancy transformed an old church into her art gallery and cafe.



Huge paintings with ornate frames adorn the walls.





The quaint town of Zionsville, which is northwest of Indianapolis, has a variety of art galleries. If you are ever in the area, The Sanctuary is one you won't want to miss. Another great one is CV Art and Frame

  1. It looks like a lovely place to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon over lunch or tea. It's a good use for an old church - those old buildings need to be filled!

  4. What a neat place, Patty. The paintings are amazing. I just love old churches; they make very cool homes too. Love the new look to your blog, too, Patty. It looks very professional! Hope you are enjoying retirement.
