About 

Born in London in 1988, Simon studied drawing in Florence for
a year with American artist Charles H. Cecil. After a degree in
History of Art from the University of York, he returned to
Florence to continue studying oil painting, focusing particularly
on portraiture.
From his studios in London and Hertfordshire, he now paints portraits and still
lifes. He has exhibited with the Royal Society of Portrait
Painters, the Royal Society of Oil Painters, the Chelsea Art
Society and the Portrait Society of America, in which he was a
prizewinner in 2018. In 2017 his work was included in the
Figurativas show at the European Museum of Modern Art in
Barcelona.

Notable commissions include:
HM King Charles III for The Worshipful Company of Weavers
Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, for Auckland Castle.
Lord Mayor of London, Sir Nicholas Lyons, for Merchant Taylors' Company
Chief of the Air Staff, Sir Mike Wigston, for RAF
Rupert Ponsonby, 7th Baron De Mauley

By spending time getting to know his sitters, his aim is always
to create a painting that captures their character as well as a
likeness, with the spark of life. Far from following any formula,
each portrait is a unique work of art, reflecting the character of
both the subject and the place it will hang.
