ABOUT

SIMON MENZIES


Simon has been working as a professional artist since 1994, training briefly at the Royal College of Art and thereafter, on a scholarship, at a leading school in Florence. He has painted and exhibited in Australia, France, Barbados, Africa, UK and USA. His work is in the collections of HM The Queen, the late George Harrison, Lord Archer, The Turner Foundation, and Pacific Asia Bank, amongst many others.  

Simon is an admirer of the Old Masters and more recent Masters such as Klimt, Degas, Whistler, Sargent, Wyeth and Hopper, to name but a few. He hopes that some of their influences can be found in his paintings.
