About Sandra Blow
- Sandra Betty Blow (14 September 1925 – 22 August 2006) was an English abstract painter and one of the pioneers of the British abstract movement of the 1950s.
- Blow's works are characteristically large scale, colourful abstract collages made from discarded materials. Born in London, she suffered scarlet fever as a child, spending weekends and holidays at her grandparents' fruit farm in Kent.
- There she spent time painting, before enrolling at Saint Martin's School of Art between 1941-1946, and then the Royal Academy Schools, 1946-1947.
- She later enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, where she met Alberto Burri, her partner of a few years.
- Blow and Burri travelled in Italy together before moving to and working in Paris, and Burri became a life long influence in her work.
