HE ARTIST WHO HAS BEEN AN ENDURING INFLUENCE? So hard to say – Sandra Blow, Joe Tilson But I cannot forget artists from the Bloomsbury Group like Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. CONTEMPORARY ART THAT YOU MOST ADMIRE? Cornish artists such as Patrick, Terry Frost and Sandra Blow . DO YOU COLLECT ANYTHING? Everything – from dinner plates (I have about 80 framed at The Whitby Hotel in New York ) to a collection of bowling shoes framed in perspex at Ham Yard Hotel in London.
