Even though he has no formal artistic training, Simon is consistently developing his oeuvre and is flourishing in both bronze and stone as medium.
Simon was born in Bushbuckridge in 1972 and matriculated in Hazyview, Mpumalanga in 1993.
He has worked closely with Angus Taylor at Dionysus Sculpture Studio and Foundry since 2011. In this time he has grown to become one of South Africa's most proficient stone masons.
Whilst his first love is stone, he also enjoys working in bronze and often includes both mediums to create his timeless sculptures.
