Biography

Artist Julia Trawick Knight, a native of Cedartown, Georgia, began her studies in 1973 at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee with Richard Duncan. She transferred to the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida to continue study in sculpture and figure painting with Bob Larson and Ethelia Patmagrian. While in Sarasota, she completed a four-year apprenticeship with the well-known bronze sculptor, Leslie Posey. She also completed an additional year of training at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

In 1979, she moved to Rome, Georgia to establish an art studio focusing on sculptural portraits. One of the artist's earliest portrait studies was of Fredrick Knight, of Cartersville, whom she married in 1981. After several years of retirement to raise her three children and help restore the family home on the Etowah River that had been in her husband's family since the 1830s, Julia returned to active portrait sculpture work in 1996.

Julia Knight is committed to promoting creative expression through the sculptural arts at the high school level. She gives master classes to high school and college students to promote and open the abiliity to see forms sculpturally and maintains an artist proof collection of her work available for shows in schools, offices, and other public places.

Julia has had numerous one woman shows throughout the Northwest Georgia area. She participates in the events and exhibits sponsored by the National Sculpture Society and other prestigious organizations.
