Behind the Art

Sally Bunting paints the way life feels—vibrant, dynamic, and full of movement. Her work is an ever-evolving visual journal, with each piece reflecting growth, aspiration, and connection. Inspired by nature’s quiet beauty, fleeting moments of joy, and the rhythm of daily life, Sally’s signature style is defined by bold palettes and an expressive, whimsical approach to form. Rooted in a love for storytelling, her paintings invite viewers to embrace both the spontaneity and stillness that coexist in ordinary moments.

Born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, Sally’s creative instincts took shape early. She went on to study International Business and Arts Management at the College of Charleston, with additional focuses in Studio Art and International Studies. These diverse influences—culture, commerce, and creativity—continue to shape her work today.

Beyond the studio, Sally is a mother to three young boys and a passionate advocate for the special abilities community. After her eldest son’s prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis, she fought for legislative change, leading to the passage of James’ Law (SB4597) in South Carolina. This law ensures that individuals with disabilities cannot be denied life-saving organ transplants.

Through her art and advocacy, Sally continues to create spaces—both on canvas and in the world—where color tells a story, inclusion is celebrated, and life’s beautiful complexities shine.
