If painting is like keeping a diary, then the works of Philippa Blair are a personal record of the thoughts, feelings, and events that motivate, inspire, or even at times, horrify her. “I develop with the painting,” she says. “It’s as if the DNA of the painting and my own DNA somehow combine to create a new lifeform.”
