Thomas McKnight was born in 1941 in Lawrence, Kansas, and after developing an interest in art in high school he attended Wesleyan University, a small liberal arts college in Middletown, Connecticut. In 1964 he spent a year studying art history at Columbia University before finding a job at Time Magazine, which he maintained for nearly a decade aside from serving with the U.S. Army in South Korea for a brief period. In 1972 he visited the Greek island of Mykonos and first began painting in earnest. Throughout the 1980s his work grew in popularity through serigraph printing, and was selected to represent the United States and Japan for various patriotic subjects. His work is held in both the Smithsonian Institution and the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, and he continues to produce new pieces alongside his wife, fellow artist Renate, at their home in Litchfield, Connecticut.
