Business overview

Born In Cheltenham, Gloucestershire in January 1972, from an early age Simon was always interested in drawing and doodling. He moved to Cornwall in 1980 and after he failed GCSE art, it was no longer a keen interest. In 2012 Simon reached for the pencils again. What you see today, in galleries and restaurants across his native Cornwall, UK or in the private commissions of those that have been entranced by his work, is testament to his passion for his pencils and his new found love of the technique known as Hyper-realism. Hyper-realism, are drawings that go beyond what is seen in a photo. Drawing on the inspiration of an established Hyper realist Pencil Artist, Simon’s work is making statements in their own right. He took on his first Commission in the Summer of 2014, 18 months after he started drawing. Each piece takes 40-120 meticulous hours. But worth it. His first commission captured the essence perfectly of the couple he drew, and people started to take notice.
