Hello, I'm Rose Knight.

“As an artist I explore the landscape​,​ deliberately disassembling​,​ rearranging​,​ deleting the clutter and working with what essence remains in the head and the heart….(seeing things that often are seen only with peripheral vision.) It is the artist’s mission to attempt to convey what is inexpressible in words​,​ allowing the subject to speak. Paintings of such energy charged places wish to relate the response of the force or mood found there…in subliminal messages and resonating memories (for both the artist and hopefully the viewer)” Originally from Victoria​,​ Rose is a regular exhibitor at Cairns Art Society and a member of Mission Beach Arts. Having recently made the monumental journey across the country from south to north​,​ she now resides in Atherton​,​ far north Queensland​,​ finding a whole new world of subjects and inspiration from her tropical home. Since arriving in FNQ​,​ Rose has been a finalist in several prestigious art prizes including the Pro Hart Outback Art Prize​,​ Glover Prize​,​ John Villiers Art Prize ​,​ Soho Art Prize​,​ and The Doyles Art Prize. She has also won awards such as the Tyto Annual Art Prize​,​ Artists of the North​,​ Central Highlands Art Awards​,​ Mission Arts Annual​,​ and CAS Art Awards. Rose has held successful Solo Exhibitions at Tanks Art Centre Cairns​,​ Tableland Regional Gallery​,​ Hinchinbrook Regional Gallery and Mission Beach Arts. Most admired artists are Arthur Boyd​,​ Fred Williams​,​ John Olsen​,​ Geoff Dyer and Phillip Wolfhagen and her preferred medium is oil paint.
