Philippa P. B. Hughes art collector and founder of The Pink Line Project.

What was your initial motivation to start collecting art?
"I've been collecting art since I was in high school. I would mostly collect things from travels — prints and decorative items as reminders of places I had visited. I love to surround myself with beauty."

Has your perspective on discovering and collecting art evolved over time?
"As I've learned more about art — especially the contemporary art world — my collection has become more sophisticated. I seek out young artists, and I look for emerging talent. I want to fill my life with beautiful and meaningful things."
