Simon uses bright colous and bold imagery to create handcrafted cards, purses,

cushions, pictures and canvases. Through the use of freehand machine embroidery and

oil pastel he draws images that are reminiscent of his travels around Austrailia, America and

Japan.

Art Gallery and Imperial Tobacco - amongst many others.

Simon's work has been published in a variety of magazines including The Big Issue, The Metro,

The Guardian and The Evening Standard. He has also featured in various TV programmes.
