JILL KNOX
On view April 12 - June 19, 2025

Jill Knox, originally from New York, has lived in Los Angeles for 14 years, and the last 5 of them in Pasadena.  She is thrilled to be first selection in The Resin Collection’s art series at The Langham Huntington Pasadena, as she has spent many date nights with her husband Keith at The Tap Room. 

Jill is an interdisciplinary artist and academic. She began experimenting with yarn in her work, her go-to material, while obtaining her MFA in theater arts from Brown University. Though her creative wing span is wide, citing “artist, actor, and educator” as her professions, she finds visual art to be the most satisfying area to work in. Raised by two art collectors/museum board members in an impeccably curated home, Jill finds her life as an artist to have been an inevitability.

Blackness and black womanhood are the central themes in her work.  Suddenly More Woman than Child explores Jill’s life map from a developing 14 year old to present day motherhood. The journey from adolescence to motherhood as a black woman comes with great triumphs and great pain.  Suddenly More Woman than Child is an intimate look into Jill's 25 years of fear, love, triumph and pain.

Jill shares pieces of this journey in her solo exhibition through bold text, the use of yarn, acrylic paint and gold leaf.
