Clifford Knight

At the age of 16 he went to study art at the Colchester Institute. After leaving college he went on to work for Marconi Communications as a silk screen printer. After a few years, he left Marconi to become a Graphic Artist but remained in the silk screen industry.

Clifford moved to Norfolk in 1989 with his wife and two children and decided to embark on a new career as a full time painter; he has never looked back since.

Although a keen water-colourist, he also paints in oils and has exhibited his work with the Great Yarmouth and District Society of Artists, in London and many leading Norfolk galleries.

Clifford mainly paints landscapes and has a deep affection for the Norfolk countryside with its rich waterways, coastal views and old tradition farmyards.
