Emilie Knight began her artistic journey with a Foundation Year in Art and Design at Plymouth College of Art, followed by a BA (Hons) Fine Art degree from the University of Plymouth. In the early stages of her career, she displayed her work in cafes and restaurants around Totnes, leading to her first formal exhibition in Falmouth.

After relocating to Jersey, Channel Islands, in 2016, Emilie represented Jersey at the Forum des Arts in St. Malo in 2017 and exhibited at the Harbour Gallery, as well as in local restaurants.

Following a challenging hiatus that led to burnout, she returned to the studio in November 2023, using painting as a means of exploring the healing process. An autism diagnosis in January 2024 brought new insights and depth to her work as she continues her introspective exploration of the human condition.

Emilie is currently developing a new series after her successful first solo show at JARO Gallery in St. Helier.

Emilie is also an autism advocate and member of the Autism Advisory Council for Autism Jersey.
