Simon
Hart
studied
Design
at
Staffordshire
University
before
completing
an
MA
in
Printed
Textiles
at
the
Royal
College
of
Art.
The
subject
matter
for
his
work
is
derived
from
his
interest
in
English
and
Mediterranean
landscapes
particularly
Cornish
fishing
villages
and
small
towns
in
France
and
Spain.
He
focuses
on
the
vibrant
colours
of
fishing
boats
and
painted
houses
which
serve
as
a
contrast
with
the
natural
tones
of
the
surrounding
landscapes.
Hart
is
now
based
in
London
and
in
addition
to
his
flourishing
career
as
an
artist
he
undertakes
freelance
commissions
for
textile
designs
in
the
furnishing
and
fashion
industries
as
well
as
lecturing
at
art
colleges
throughout
England.
