Painter, Illustrator, Potter, Photographer and Graphic Designer.
Simon works traditionally in both oils and watercolours as well as embracing the latest technology creating works using an ipad.
His body of works are therefore created in a variety of styles using all these methods, from loose abstract to photo-realism and always with a rich and a vibrant colour pallet, with the addition of sensitive mark making.
Simon has a passion for 'Wild Life' both domestic & 'Exotic' especially Chickens! His recent body of Landscape works in oil on canvas use a rich impasto colour application using a pallet knife, finished with 'sweeping gestures' by the use of bold brush strokes. Elements of this technique can also be seen in his wildlife studies throughout all mediums.
In addition Simon also creates limited edition Lino Prints.
