Pat Knight

Born Manchester. I studied Fine Art painting & printmaking part time over 5 years as a mature student, whilst juggling a demanding job, and in 2007 obtained a Degree BA Hons Fine Art Painting/printmaking from Brighton University.I take much of my inspiration from disused buildings and industrial sites, and nature. I love life drawing and anything that inspires me. My degree works of screen prints & etchings are based on Geevor Tin mines in Cornwall and used as a metaphor for destroyed communities. More recent works result from taking my drawings or my photographs as a starting point, the resulting paintings are not a literal description, more about my initial experience. It is about capturing something of the memory, a certain feeling associated with subject or the atmosphere of buildings and places. I use watercolour, and acrylics with mixed media. I would also love to do more printmaking when I can afford the equipment and a space of my own. In 2022 one of my still life watercolour paintings of Nasturtiums and Cherries was selected as a floral tribute to appear in the book ' Christian Spurling Picture Me' A Marine Artist, edited by Steven D. Smale.
