Words of Strength

     My wife Laurel and I have a number of words we focus on, especially in moments of stress or struggles.  Our three m's, "Masterpieces, Memories and Miracles" - "No Compromise" and "Faith" are all words that help guide us in our art and in our lives.  We recently created a mental picture of our lives, our art and our art business.  We now visualize a very broad and complex foundation, designed and constructed to build a towering skyscraper on.  It remains up to us how high we want to go and what elements are going to be included on each floor.  It has taken decades to build the foundation I am speaking of.  Our foundation is built from lives with many diverse experiences.  When it comes to art, there have been thousands of hours spent in various forms of marketing, in studying and learning our subjects, in conceptualizing and designing, in learning the use of all our tools and how to work our mediums.  We have lived through lifes highs and sometimes very desperate lows.  We have survived and at this point, ultimately prevailed.  The words we live by are an important part of our strength.  What words do you live by that inspire or strengthen you?

Mission Statement

This is a blog for all fine artists, for those who love art and for all those who supply art materials, tools and various methods of marketing.  I am a professional sculptor (stevenlknight.com) and my wife is a professional painter (laurelknight.com).  Art by Knight is not about the art we are creating as much as it is about art as we, humanity, experience and are impacted by its presence, how it is defined and how it is created.  This site will serve as an informative, interactive gathering place, open to all who would like to participate, sharing in ideas, feelings and resources.  For those of us who spend countless hours in various degrees of solitary studio time, this is the opportunity to brain pool with a collective voice.  I will begin the subject matter and content, open to suggestions as to direction.
