Blair Barbour

Visual Art – Philadelphia

Blair Barbour was raised in a household full of artists and musicians, so naturally she ventured towards a creative future. Scholarships and awards carried her through art and film school. Her artist mother supported every creative venture and her father is a Vietnam Veteran and fearless adventurer. He took she and her sister on several adventures around the world, including a return to Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil, Europe, etc. Animal advocacy, cultural awareness and the preservation of natural lands are her main messages represented through her artwork. Today she is the founder of Rogue Yoga and a big part of the local animal advocacy scene, winning Miss Pinup Philadelphia 2014 and helping to raise awareness for breed discrimination through the organization Pinups for Pitbulls. Art is her number one passion and her signature style is collage with recycled materials. In her Art career she is on the board of one of the top 20 shows in the country in Philadelphia. She is a member of the Artists of Yardley and teaches children about the environment through Yoga and Art in her local community. Her art has been recognized with an International Art award from Neo Pop Realism and can be found globally with works residing on each continent. She has already written and illustrated her first children’s book entitled, “How Lucky I am to be Me.” Blair has used her talent for many charities supporting local arts programs in Philadelphia schools, Pinups for Pitbulls, the Wounded Warrior Fund and Haiti restoration.
