Asheville, North Carolina artist, painting and mixed media
Sally Haig Studio
I like to make paintings about music, dancing. The history of music and dance in Appalachia is a rich and vibrant one, and it’s no wonder that it has inspired so many artists. The region’s unique blend of Celtic, African, and American influences has created a musical tradition that is both haunting and joyful. And the Appalachian dance style, with its emphasis on foot-stomping and hand-clapping, is a lively and energetic expression of the people’s spirit.
