McKnight’s beautiful still life painting captures a vignette of books, a reclaimed vase and a few sprigs of gum tree, taken from her own Sydney garden. Inspired by vintage artwork, she has toned down her usual colour palette in this piece, letting the nostalgia and love of literature shine through and take centre stage.
Artist Bio: Internationally collected artist Marnie McKnight turned her hobby into a career in 2016 to immediate success. She is primarily known as an abstract expressionist painter working with acrylics and oils, but often releases capsule collections exploring other styles and mediums. Her new “Light Reading” series is selling out everywhere and plays on her love of books, the women depicted often a variation of Marnie who when not in the studio creating art is writing and reading books.
