British born artist Simon Addyman attended the Colchester School of Art and the City & Guilds of London Art School, where he gained his degree in fine art. Simon enjoys both painting landscapes on location (plein air) and developing work in his studio in Auburn CA where he now lives with his wife Carol. His diverse works and special commissions can be found in numerous European and American private collections. Without question, Simon's artwork is diverse and his versatility evident, yet his distinctive artistic style is consistently woven into the images that he creates, a quality that is difficult to achieve and much cherished by collectors.
