Emilie Knight

Emilie Knight is an abstract expressionist painter based in Jersey.

She says, “As an abstract expressionist painter, I create in response to an innate need to process my lived experience and consider the human condition.”

Emilie Knight’s studio in Jersey, Channel Islands

“I am inspired by the raw urge to create; my recent autism diagnosis has led to an introspective collection of works addressing concepts of identity, ephemerality and crisis. Human existence fascinates me, and I find myself searching for the missing link that bridges the gaps in our concepts of existence.”

About her studio she says “It's my safe space. I struggle with hyper vigilence so it's the one place I can shut the door to and an be unapolagetically me. And the workbench my husband built me this year. It's given me a proper space to work in with storage etc. and made such a difference to my practice as I can now use the floor space for footwork and workbench for everything else. I love it!”
