Knowing (2026)Acrylic painting by Marnie McKnight

Books and art offer a form of escape—quiet spaces where the mind is free to wander. This painting depicts a woman immersed in reading, suspended in the moment when the outside world fades away. I believe that reading becomes an act of transformation, where the reader can inhabit any role, explore endless possibilities, and aim to capture that priceless moment in my expressive artworks.

It is a one of a kind, original artwork, painted in my studio in Sydney. It will never be published as a print and contains the essence and energy of a lovingly hand painted artwork. It is signed on the lower right of the canvas on front, and signed and dated on the back, as well as being accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.

Provided with listings are some in-situ images. I strive to ensure they are accurate in scale.
Small paintings arrive ready to install with hardware installed on the rear and are framed in locally sourced Tasmanian Oak.
Large paintings will be shipped rolled in a tube. They will need to be stretched by a framer on arrival. Sometimes I will add an external frame to a large unframed painting in the photos, to indicated how that would look if you should choose that option when you bring it to a framer.

This artwork is a small painting and therefore comes framed and ready to hang
