Simon is based in Shropshire, working from his studio overlooking Wenlock Edge. Much of his work is inspired by life in a rural community.

His studio is set in dramatic landscape in the heart of Corvedale in Shropshire. The Corvedale is the most southerly dale in England. It lies between Wenlock Edge (which inspired the song cycle by Ralph Vaughan Williams ‘On Wenlock Edge’) on one side, and Brown Clee Hill (the highest point in Shropshire) on the other. The studio can be visited by appointment with the artist through the contact page of this website.
