Sally Rowe
Founding Member, BAAA, and Maker of Delightful Objects
Sally Rowe has been exploring her inner artist for the past ten years. After a long career as an
exploited, low-level corporate employee with zero existential satisfaction, she decided to bail
the business world, move to the country, and follow her (very loud) creative calling.
Since that time, Sally has been giddily preoccupied as writer, cookie baker, furniture rescuer,
flower and vegetable gardener, old house decorator, flea market hound, art acquirer, and arts
community organizer. Naturally creatively inclined, she approaches everything with an
imaginative flourish, and an inspired and whimsical flair. Though she doesn’t like to brag, her
many admirers have been known to say that she’s “got the eye”.
In the past few years, Sally has caught the fiber bug, big time. Using rescued and vintage
fabrics, buttons, and trims, she converts them into a delightful array of useful art objects for
the truly audacious, such as purses, table runners, miniature pillows, quilted chair pads and
squishy bookmarks. Her obsession with 1950's Pom-Poms has by now become almost legendary.
On alternate days, when not wading in a vat of Pom-Poms, Sally can often be found with wooden
needles in hand, clicking away. On these days, she has affectionately been nicknamed by her
immediate loved one as "Miss Knits". Some of the artwork that has emerged out of this latest
joy-of-joys has been highly embellished and fanciful knitted and crocheted boxes. Very
charming, according to some. And yes….even some of these have Pom-Poms.
Sally currently lives in Barryville, NY with her husband, Anthony Biancoviso, a potter,
psychologist, and self-proclaimed minimalist. You can stumble across her various objects d’art
while visiting Anthony’s studio, and seasonally—when the mood strikes—at other select venues
around the region.
