As a judge of sheepdog trials, she is often commissioned to undertake portraits of pets. Her work is held in private collections in the UK, Switzerland, Australia and the USA.

Sally Jones holds classes in oil painting at her home, and has undertaken a pastel workshop hosted by Stable Art at Fletchersbridge near Bodmin.
