He said: “In my day job I spend a lot of time encouraging people to discover the outstanding North Pennines landscape\, similar to what I hope to achieve with my art. The Bowlees Visitor Centre is the gateway for visitors to the North Pennines and an ideal location to display my art\, and I hope that people will enjoy my art and be inspired to discover the landscapes I’ve depicted.” \nSimon works mainly in acrylic but also in mixed media including Indian Ink\, graphite and charcoal. Most of his work is contemporary landscapes and seascapes of Northern England. “My work begins with outdoor sketches\, photographs and plein air paintings with works being completed in the studio. I spend time outside in all weathers and all seasons and am particularly interested in capturing dramatic skies.” \nBowlees Visitor Centre is run by the North Pennines AONB Partnership and is the perfect place to start exploring the walks\, waterfalls and wildlife in the local area\, or to inspire a trip further afield in the AONB. The Centre offers visitor information\, refreshments at the Falls Café\, and a gallery space\, plus places to explore\, picnic and play in the grounds.
