Therese Knowles

Art Brokerage: Therese Knowles French/American Artist: B. 1918. Therese is one of an elite group of 8 artisans known as Indian River School painters, whose work is featured at the prestigious A.E. Backus Gallery in Fort Pierce, Florida. Highly regarded for the skill and quality of their artwork, their beautiful paintings, primarily of Florida landscapes, have continued to increase in value. Therese Knowles was born Therese Germain Vellier in Fountanbleu, France on June 8, 1918. Her mother was a talented dress designer whose artistic talent was passed on to her daughter. Therese was schooled in France. Daniel Knowles, who remembers every painting his wife ever painted, told us he regrets that his wonderfully talented wife Therese, now 85, is no longer able to paint. They have no other paintings available for sale. Her work, rarely available, primarily in private collections, has alternately been signed "Therese", Therese Knowles", and "Therese V.Knowles".
