Courtney Knight (b. 1991, Spokane, WA) studied Illustration in Boston, MA and is currently living in the Bay Area. Lately she tends to explore topics of playfulness, movement, nostalgia, and intimacy. A chronic daydreamer and narrative driven, always, her first love is drawing by suspending a moment of time from her overactive imagination and now playing with clay and oil in the same way.
let’s work together:
