Artist Bio

Carley Knight is a contemporary abstract fiber artist renowned for her unique approach to art. She lives and works in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a city where she was both born and raised, which has greatly influenced her artistic journey. Ms. Knight attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Peck School of the Arts from 2011 to 2013, but she made the difficult decision to leave before completing her degree due to personal circumstances.

In recognition of her talent, she was selected to participate in the 2015-16 MARN mentors program, where she had the opportunity to be paired with the well-respected folk artist Della Wells. The collaboration culminated in a mentor/mentee exhibition that took place at the VAR Gallery in Milwaukee in 2016.

Throughout her career, Ms. Knight has taken part in numerous exhibitions across the Milwaukee and Chicagoland area, showcasing her work at notable venues such as Concordia University and the ARC Gallery in Chicago. Recently, in 2023, she celebrated a significant milestone by holding a solo show at the Clement Manor Art Gallery in Greenfield, further establishing her presence in the art community.
