Simon Turvey SWLA
(Bn 1957)
Simon Turvey is a British artist who was born in Kent in 1957.
During his teens, along with his love of painting and drawing, he developed a fascination for wildlife.
His work is figurative and his subject matter is broad, ranging from Natural History to Portraiture, and Landscape to Still Life. Simon works from life and also sketches and photographs if need be.
Simon works in both oil and watercolour, often working on several paintings at a time, which allows him a greater perspective on each piece. Some outdoor paintings may take only days to complete, while more intricate studio pieces may take weeks or longer.
He is a member of the Society of Wildlife Artists and his paintings have been exhibited throughout the country including at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition
