Simon gained a BA(Hons) in Surface Pattern Design at Staffordshire University before completing an MA in Printed Textiles at the Royal College of Art in 1993. After graduating he designed for furnishing textiles and greeting card companies and was a visiting lecturer at several art and design degree courses around the country. At the same time he began exhibiting work in galleries and at Art fairs. He was quickly spotted by a major contemporary art publishing company who created prints of his work which have sold worldwide and featured in major stores such as Habitat and Ikea. His images have also been used for childrens books, magazine covers, wallpaper, rugs and stage sets.
The subject matter of his work has mainly focused on his love of fishing villages and harbours in Cornwall. He is drawn towards the brightly painted fishing boats and houses which provide such a wonderful contrast against the natural tones of the surrounding landscape. The work of the St Ives school of artists in particular has been a major influence in his compositions and mark making.
Simon is eager to explore new techniques and directions and recently began Monoprinting, focusing on simplicity of line rather than shape and colour. Unable to work without colour for long he soon began to experiment with painting on board and discovered the wonderful versatility of Acrylics with their opaque and translucent qualities.
In early 2007 Simon moved into a new much larger studio where it has been easier to concentrate on developing new imagery and he has found himself revisiting his textiles background and looking at bold shapes and pattern within abstracted compositions.
