Be it a carnival in Venice, a sundrenched street in Greece, a cozy well furnished room, a tropical beach or a mythological scene, McKnights images invite you to experience the unfettered joy of living.<br> <img height="1" width="30" src="../../../dot_clear.gif">"I try to integrate what is real about a place or thing with its underlying truth its invisible soul," muses the artist. "In the process I try to create a symbolic reality that can serve as a catalyst for emotions, nostalgia, joy, the sadness of time passing."<br> <img height="1" width="30" src="../../../dot_clear.gif">According to noted New York Times critic Gene Thornton, McKnight's work presents "visions of earthly happiness that are almost celestial. It is the vision of earthly paradise that exists in the here and now. Thomas McKnight's pictures remind us of how good life can be in those rare moments when all is well in the world."<br> <img height="1" width="30" src="../../../dot_clear.gif"> Born in 1941 in Lawrence, Kansas, Thomas McKnight grew up in suburbs of Montreal, New York City and Washington, D.C. After receiving his Bachelor's Degree from Wesleyan University, he studied art history at Columbia University. He then served in Korea with the army for two years, and later worked for Time Magazine.<br> <img height="1" width="30" src="../../../dot_clear.gif"> Since deciding to devote himself to painting full time in 1972, McKnights work has been exhibited in over two hundred and fifty one man shows through out the United States, Europe and Japan. <br> <img height="1" width="30" src="../../../dot_clear.gif"> Six books of McKnights art have been published (two in Japan) including the most recent Voyage to Paradise. He was commissioned by Dennis Connor in 1992 to paint two images commemorating the America's Cup races, and by the city of Kobe, Japan in 1993 to create a series of paintings to serve as the centerpiece for the two year celebration of its tricentennial. After the devastating earthquake which hit Kobe in 1995, McKnight created an earthquake relief poster.</td> </tr> </table> </center> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="190" border="0" cellspacing="0"
