My husband, Charles Tarlton, a retired political theory professor and poet, and I live in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. I am a member of Gallery One CT, the Lyme Art Association and I am an elected artist in the Essex Art Association, where I show each summer. Gallery One CT offers two or three shows each year in Connecticut from New Haven to Stonington. We are showing now at the Hygienic Gallery in New London, Connecticut, through April 20, 2024 and will exhibit at the Guilford Art Center from May 3-26, 2024. As a winner of the Gantner Award at Essex Art Association, I was given a solo show, “Patina,” in August 2022, in the Gantner Gallery. My painting "As If It Were A Day In L.A." was selected for "Expanded Visions," the Lyme Art Association show (April through June 2022). My paintings were selected for the juried Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts Annual in 2016 and included in the CAFA+ Members Virtual Show of 2021. My work was chosen for the Northampton Biennials of 2019 and 2015. I have been in two group shows at the #LOCAL Gallery in Easthampton, Massachusetts, most recently in an exhibition called "Art of the Word." Hope and Feathers Gallery in Amherst, Massachusetts showed my work in a two-person exhibition, "Shaking Loose: Rhys Davies and Ann Knickerbocker," during October, 2017, and the two of us painted live in the gallery for 8-10 hours each week. My paintings and prints, "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her," were exhibited at the Emily Dickinson Museum during the Amherst, Massachusetts, Art Walk on September 1, 2016. I am a former member of Gallery A3 in Amherst and Gallery Route One in Point Reyes Station, California. Cider House Media in Easthampton, Massachusetts, gave me a solo show in September 2015. My first solo show was in the Museum of Fine Arts in Valletta, Malta, in 1990, and I have painted steadily since 1988.

"Bass Ale" is an elegy to a beer that is brewed no more, alas. An elegy with flowers, space and light... With these new line and color paintings, I feel as though I am beginning a new moment in time, every time.
