Simon Carter

Profile

I live on the Essex coast and the nearby beaches and saltings are source material for nearly all my painting. I spend time outdoors each week making drawings and the studio paintings are an on-going conversation with these drawings and the landscape. I like painting that shows the evidence of its making. I like the provisional and the handmade, alterations and corrections, the visible signs of the process.
