Blom has been working as an artist since 1978. Blom was educated at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and Ateliers '63 in Haarlem.
She exhibited in Museum Fodor, Amsterdam, the Haags Gemeentemuseum, The Hague and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Her films have been shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and during various years of the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).
Since the 1990s, she has also been involved as an advisor to students at the Rijksakademie voor Beeldende Kunsten. She also worked as a teacher at the Christian University of the Arts Constantijn Huygens in Kampen, from 1978 to 1985.[5]
Work
Blom is described as a painter of an intimate, oppressive world in which the surrender of the human being to his body is central. Brain, liver, heart and intestinal tracts, as well as beds, facades and windows form a mysterious system in which hesitant lines indicate connections. Her work focuses on the friction between the individual and the external environment and the misconceptions and confusion that arise as a result.
For various drawings she was inspired by texts by, among others, Ellen West, Søren Kierkegaard and texts from Native American Poetry.
