From an early age Simon’s flair for illustration was reflected in his studies at school. Simon spent a year at Art college, and always wanting to be different, enrolled to study for a degree in Engineering at Southampton University. Simon painted semi-professionally from 1985, and became a freelance artist/illusrator in 1993.

During the 90's Simon became widely known for work with a motor racing theme, and his limited edition prints featuring Formula 1 subjects sold worldwide.

Simon’s contemporary style of painting has been continuously developing and is influenced by hobbypop painters such as Sophie Von Hellerman and inspired by childhood memories and observations of life. Whilst being influenced by events and people, most of his current work is entirely made up on the spur of the moment, often painting straight onto board or canvas with little or no preparatory sketching.

Simon’s work is exhibited at various independent galleries, and shows, including the Affordable Art Fair at Battersea Park, in collaboration with The Enid Lawson Gallery.

Simon is based in Broadway in the Cotswolds.
