I'll Tell Them

Knabb is a watercolor artist and high school art teacher based in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. She lives with Raynaud’s disease and scleroderma, conditions that have changed her relationship with her hands. They can be painful, stiff, cold and unpredictable, yet they remain central to how she teaches, creates and moves through the world. Knabb’s watercolor paintings focus on hands and botanicals, built through layered washes, careful observation and subtle detail. Her work is inspired by the body’s resilience and the strength that can emerge from immense struggle. Through art, she continues to explore what it means to live inside a body that is both limited and capable.
