Growing up in British Columbia, Canada, Simon developed a strong affinity to nature with creative foundations in visual art and music. In 2004 he gravitated towards painting as a full-time endeavor bringing his musical background into the visual realm. Simon has explored many visual mediums, often with a strong influence on spiritual themes connected to nature. In 2007 he graduated from Vancouver Film School, where he learned motion graphics, among many other creative topics within the Digital Design program.  That led him to animate many of his paintings now used in live VJ performances with various global music acts, including his own. He continues to produce music by himself and collaboratively. Within art galleries, festivals, conventions, and online platforms, his work is exhibited globally. He currently works out of his studio in BC, Canada, while continuing to explore an ever-expanding palette of creative endeavors.
