artist profile

After graduating with an Interior Design degree I worked at John A. Colby Fine Furniture store in Chicago, Illinois. I moved to Europe and there I was able to study with several well know artist, study art at museums, historic homes and gardens through out my travels.

I steadily went from canvas painting to creating murals for many of my friends and family. Eventually I created a business with clientele and named my company after the charming geometric Knot gardens in England. ‘Knott’ incidentally enough is also family name.

I learned about floor cloths and marouflages or portable murals while in school and have seen examples in various homes and museums. In our mobile society portable murals were a given, thus my collection of Portable Murals and the Children’s Art collections. The Floor Cloth collection come from both beauty and practicality, they are so low maintenance.

More canvas art is being done to show in local venues, many are in the Items for Sale and Original Art section.

I love designing, I love painting, and it’s wonderful being able to use the influence of existing art and nature to create one more new piece of art.
