Gerald Allen Knowles

Architect · Artist · Traveler

Gerald Allen Knowles is an architect, artist, and traveler whose work traces the quiet geometry of places across Europe and the islands of the Atlantic. His drawings carry the discipline of architectural observation — clean lines, measured shadows, and a sensitivity to structure. From staircases in Saintes to volcanic landscapes in the Canary Islands, his sketchbooks read like field journals: immediate, intimate, shaped by decades of wandering with pen and paper in hand. His collages expand these impressions into compositions that feel both analytical and poetic.
