Sandra Michele Knight is a traditionally trained Australian artist whose practice is shaped by a lifelong connection to nature.
From an early age she was drawn to creative expression - first through drawing, and later through painting, which became her truest language for exploring memory, emotion and place.
Her canvases are layered with color, texture, and gesture, reflecting both inner landscapes and the natural world around her.
Each work becomes a meditation on presence - spaces of stillness and movement, resilience and vulnerability - that invite viewers into their own reflections.
Sandra's work has been exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions, with her paintings finding homes in private collections nationally and internationally. She has been a finalist in art prizes and received recognition for the depth and strength of her work. Attending workshops with highly acclaimed tutors as Max Wilks, Lee Machelak, Peter Smales (Melbourne Twenty Painters), art mentor Carol Boothman and many others have helped shape her learning processes.
For Sandra, painting is more than image-making - it is the creative freedom and opportunity to explore many materials and subject choices.
