Michael Knight
In Residence on the verandahs at Donnelly River Village
17 July – 24 July 2017
With a professional career spanning 20 years, Australian artist Michael Knight has proved genuine creativity and hard work can still compete in a changeable contemporary art market.
Michael’s passion for drawing and composition, and unusually bold sense of colour, produce evocative works with long-lasting appeal. His paintings feature in collections throughout Australia and overseas and his eleventh solo exhibition, Windsong, opened at Nyisztor Studio in April this year.
After 10 years working on the east coast, Michael is happy to be back in the Western Australian landscape.
