BILL KNOTT
My name is William E. Knot II.  My wife (Carol) and I have a
daughter (Brianna).  We also have a Black Labrador Retriever
named "Cain".  I am a graduate of East High School.  I attended
the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD).  I attained an
Associates Degree in Business from Ohio Dominican University
(ODU).  I am currently an employee of the City of Columbus.
My artwork has been viewed at a number of venues around the
city:  The Columbus Metropolitan Library, CCAD, City Hall, the
King Arts Center, Black Arts Plus, Ace Gallery, Vets Memorial,
James A Rhodes State Office Tower, Cathedral of the
Covenant, and other local events.  I worked with Sandra L.
LaVaughn, a local film producer, on a motion picture entitled
"The Blue Room".  I began working as a storyboard artist, later
landing a small role in the film.  I designed the cover for the
book entitled
An Everlasting Hope, written by Ms. Sandra K.
Bouie, which landed me a brief stint with Outskirts Publishing
Company as an illustrator.  And, most recently, I had the
opportunity to team up with Minister Joe Woodley on a Christian
comic book entitled the "H.E.R.O. Project".
As far back as I can remember I have had a deep passion for
the fine arts.  I particularly love drawing and painting the human
form.  My greatest artistic influence is found in the book of
Genesis.  To me God was, and is, the master artist, sculptor,
designer, architect, and creator.  In a word, God is creativity.  
"So God created man in his image, in the image of God he
created him; male and female he created them" (
Genesis 1:27,
KJV).  
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living soul"
(Genesis 2:7, KJV).  These two
scripture passages are the foundation of my ministry.
My artwork is more than just blending colors together.  It is more
than just understanding bone structure, muscle tone and facial
expression.  My artwork is about creating life.  Like the Creator,
it is about taking a blank canvas and breathing life onto and
into it.  Most importantly, it is about reaching out and touching
the souls of those viewing it.  As I see it, my artwork is a conduit.
 Through it, there is a connection between the viewers and the
Creator.
