Blow considered herself an 'academic abstract painter', primarily concerned with balance and proportion, 'issues', she observed, 'that have been important since art began'. Her often large, non-figurative work, has been described as 'gestural and impulsive in form', and often includes collage and non-traditional materials. Here she uses bold upward sweeps of colour to create drama and dynamism. Blow exhibited in mixed shows at Ben Uri in 1954*, 1956*, 1960* 1966*; 1970 and 1977; and in May 1969, Drawing no. 21 was among the five works she exhibited at Ben Uri in a mixed show with contemporaries Henry Inlander, Leon Kossoff, Helena Markson and Archibald Zeigler.*
