Painter and lecturer, born and lived in Glasgow, notable for her richly coloured still lifes with an unusual perspective, as in her first London solo show at Duncan Campbell Fine Art in 2004. Knox graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1971, having studied drawing and painting under Robin Philipson and David Michie. Family commitments prevented her painting for some years; she then lectured in further education, painting and exhibiting as time allowed; until in 2004 she resigned from teaching to paint full-time. Knox was elected an artist-member of Glasgow Art Club, Paisley Art Institute and the Glasgow Society of Women Artists and a professional member of Visual Arts Scotland. She won the inaugural Kennox Prize at the Paisley Art Institute in 2003 and was main exhibitor in the Kennox Exhibition at The Richmond Hill Gallery in 2004.
