About Ron Knott | ronknott-artist

Brief Biography

Originally from , London, after studying Fine Art at Gloucestershire and Birmingham

College of Art I taught in high school for eight years in UK and then Sydney Australia.

From 2004 - 2005 I lived in Cape Town, South Africa and became entranced by the South

African landscape and the vibrant creativity of indigenous art and craftwork.

More recently I lived and worked back in the UK for two years tutoring adults in painting

and drawing through government and private education centres.

I now live in Kiama Downs, New South Wales, close to the beach.

My work is inspired by the environment around me, its colours, textures and constantly

changes surfaces. As a medium I prefer acrylic paint or oils but occasionally experiment with

pastels to exploit their rich colours and potential for expressive mark making.
