Simon Bailey

Hi I’m Simon . I’m a builder by trade, but I’d love to paint full-time one day. In my spare time, I paint wild animals and pet portraits, mainly in graphite and pastels. I like capturing character, especially the small details that make an animal feel alive.

I’m entirely self-taught, learning by experimenting with graphite and pastels, and building my skills a piece at a time through practice and patience.

I’m going to be to exhibiting my work later this month in a local art gallery
