Bookstore / Yoffredo Activity Center Art Display

Our featured artist in the Yoffredo Center/Book Store for the months of August and September is Abigail Knauff. She is a painter and printmaker from Palm Harbor. She received formal art instruction at St. Pete College, where she earned her associates degree. Currently, she is a senior at USF pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in printmaking.
 
About her work, Abigail says, “My work is deeply influenced by the transient nature of light, and capturing its fleeting beauty is a recurring theme in my work. As a stained glass artist, I am fascinated by how light transforms spaces and affects everything it touches. This fascination extends into my explorations in printmaking, painting, and zine-making, where I investigate how light and color evoke emotions and tell stories. I view my work as a form of storytelling, where I convey not just visual experiences but narratives about connection, memory, and the moments we share.”
