About the Artist

Hi, I’m Salley Knight. I’m a fine artist who has worked on silk as my medium for over 50 years. I use traditional Japanese techniques to prepare the silk to ensure vibrancy and longevity. 

My art reflects the beautiful surroundings of Squam Lake, NH, my childhood in Virginia,  as well as my whimsical sensibility.
