Knight began creating life size animal sculptures whilst in Italy, and subsequently exhibited a bronze flock of sheep at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1986. Knight was an accomplished portrait sculptor, and often produced works intended for use as public sculpture. Both her human figures and animal sculptures are characterised by a gentle naivety, and sense of humour. She also regularly worked on building restoration projects, and stage sets. Knight dedicated much of her career to teaching life drawing and sculpture at institutions such as the Sir John Cass School of Art, Twickenham College of Technology and the Kingston College of Art
