Artist

After graduating with an Interior Design degree I worked at John A. Colby Fine Furniture store in Chicago, Illinois. From there I moved to England and then the Netherlands. I was able to study with several well know artist, study at art museums, and visit many historical sites throughout Europe.

I steadily went from canvas painting to creating murals for many of my friends and family. With a growing clientele I started my own mural art business and named it after the charming geometric knot gardens of England. ‘Knott’ was also my great grandmother’s maiden name.

Painting murals started out as the main focus of my business, but soon I added floor cloths and marouflages, portable murals, as an extension to my mural paintings. Canvas floor cloths and portable murals were also very practical for our mobile society.

My Interior Design background helps me design and consult for any style home, retail store and office buildings. Listening to clients, developing their dream and seeing it come to fruition is my key and the success to my passion of painting.

There have been requests for canvas painting from several clients and galleries, so once again more of my work is on the ‘conventional canvas’ format. I work out of my home studio in Austin.
