Introducing the art and artists of Coochiemudlo

Interconnection, oil on canvas, 122 x 90cm

Artist, Dot Knight, has lived on Coochiemudlo for twenty four years, where she feels deep gratitude for the quiet pleasures of seaside life and barefoot walks over sandy shores. 

Moving from Central Queensland to Brisbane and pursuing her passion for art, Dot has studied Art and Design as well as Drawing and Painting with an impressive number of artist tutors, developing a profile in the arts through exhibitions and success in winning art competitions across Queensland. 

Dot works from life and heart, using bold, simplified shapes to powerfully express the essential forms and positivity of the internal and external “scapes” she presents. 

“From Dark to Light” the title of Dot’s solo exhibition at the Curlew Gallery, reflects her ongoing theme of Hope in dark times.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
