==Life==
She was born in Chicago in 1890〔 and she studied at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago.〔(Katherine Stuges ), AskArt, retrieved 9 April 2015〕 Her early work included illustrating children's books for P. F. Volland Company of Chicago. Between 1913 and 1921, she created several examples including ''Short Stories of Musical Melodies''. She was sent to Japan to study oriental art and she used this experience when she published ''Little Pictures of Japan'' in 1925.〔(and many more ), JVJPunlishing, retrieved 9 April 2015〕
Sturges married Clayton Knight, who was a World War One pilot that went on to become an illustrator and writer. They occasionally worked together as they did on fabric designs and on two "We Were There" books. Sturges illustrated a range of books, but she also created fashion drawings for ''Harper's Bazaar''.〔 In 1929, she was amongst a group of artists and designers like her husband, Ralph Barton and Helen Dryden who were offering "message prints" on silk for "flappers" to wear at Palm Beach. She took on a range of work that included advertising artwork for McCullum hosiery and silver designs by Oneida Limited. Sturges also created fabric and jewellery designs that were inspired by Peruvian culture after she was sent by the department store, Macy's, to South America.〔
The British ceramic company Spode employed Sturges to create designs. One of the more unusual commissions was a toile decorated with pictures from the career of President Eisenhower which is used at the US Presidents guest residence Blair House.〔
