After earning his degree in fine art, Simon took a job at an art gallery in Windsor, using his nights to paint with the dream of showcasing his own work. In a bold move, he replaced the gallery's window display with his own pieces. By lunchtime, all his artwork had sold, marking the end of his gallery career and the beginning of his artistic journey.

Simon’s work has since attracted the attention of notable figures like LA stylist Rachel Zoe and fashion designer Henry Holland, and he has received commissions from prestigious brands including Alfa Romeo. His art, which blurs the line between fantasy and reality, highlights the female form with striking detail and showcases cultural icons from fashion, modeling, and music. Each piece is carefully crafted to capture a timeless essence and evoke a profound emotional response.

In his latest collection, Diamond Dust, Simon innovatively translates iconic images from the renowned English photographer Terry O’Neill into diamond dust silkscreen prints, a first in art history.
