SALLY JABLONSKY 
she/her
fiddler, painter, teacher

      Born and raised on a farm just south of Spokane, Washington, Sally Jablonsky has been immersed in traditional old-time fiddling and other styles for 36 years. Since the age of 15, Sally has taught fiddle to all ages of people, privately as well as group lessons. She has taught and performed at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina, the Festival of Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, the Missoula Old-time Social, the Olympia Old-time Music festival, Lady of the Lake Dance camps in Idaho, and the Portland Old-time Music Gathering. Sally has played, recorded and toured with Rabbit Foot Stringband, Dry and Dusty, and the Misty Mountain Pony Club. Jablonsky is dedicated to preserving and carrying on the past time of oldtime music.  
   

When she's not fiddling around, Sally paints, draws, sculpts, makes zines, does illustration work, and teaches art. Her (art) work is influenced by experiences of nature and of being a body, and plays in the space between. Using the body as a source of information, Jablonsky aims to reveal the human fantasy as well as create a new framework to live within–showing the human experience in the greater context of the natural world. Jablonsky is the President and founding member of the Try Harder Society, holds a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon, and an MFA in Visual Studies from that same school. Sally lives in Spokane where she is building a fiddle army, making art, and watching the trees move in the wind.
