Local watercolor artist and instructor, Edrie Knight will be featured on WBTV’s Carolina Camera on Wednesday, April 17 at 9 p.m. Knight, who turns 87 this month has been teaching watercolor painting for over 20 years at Mitchell Community College. Producers found her life story very colorful—from USO volunteer, to her lifelong correspondence with Queen Elizabeth, to her early years as a beauty queen, model, fashion designer, and commercial artist.
Knight received graduate and post graduate degrees from Maryland Institute of art and has shown her paintings in over 350 exhibits.
The episode will be posted on the station’s website on Thursday, April 18.
