Simon was born and grew up in the picturesque town of Barnstaple, North Devon, this is
where he first discovered and developed his passion for Art.

Through his studies he obtained an OND in Art and Design, at North Devon College and went
on to Ipswich, to successfully achieve an HND in Graphic Design and Illustration at Suffolk
College of Higher and Further Education.

In his twenties, Simon worked for a major graphic design company in London, and then went
on to teach the principles of graphic design at Southampton Technical College.

In 1994, Simon began oil painting full time. This was his main passion, until 2004, when he
first discovered the world of digital art through Adobe Photoshop.

Since then, he has worked for himself producing artworks to be printed onto art papers and
canvas, several of which have been exhibited by art galleries and stores. Some of these
designs have also been sold as greetings cards.

Currently, Simon is working on a book about his hometown, which will also be illustrated by
him. If you wish to discuss a commission or project with Simon, please feel free to contact him
