<strong>Simon</strong> <strong>Dorrell</strong> was born into a farming family from Bewdley in Worcestershire in 1961.<br />
He attended Hereford College of Art, later graduating from Maidstone College of Art in 1984.<br />
He first exhibited in London in 1982 and since then has staged one-man exhibitions in New York, Zurich, London and the<br />
provinces. He exhibited, annually, at The Silk Top Hat Gallery in Ludlow from 1986 until 2016, and at Glyndebourne Opera,<br />
annually, from 1998 - 2019, showing alongside David Hockney and Mary Fedden.<br />
He exhibits regularly at The Table, Hay-on-Wye, and occasionally at Oriel Canfas, Cardigan. He is a member of The<br />
Arborealists.<br />
Also a designer of buildings, gardens and landscapes, the garden at <strong>Simon</strong>’s former home, Bryan’s Ground, near<br />
Presteigne, was listed as one of the ten best contemporary gardens in Britain.<br />
Since 1988 he has been art editor and principal illustrator of the international garden journal, Hortus (www.hortus.co.uk).<br />
He now lives in the Towy Valley in Carmarthenshire.<br />

A lifelong interest in the domestic vernacular architecture of the farm is reflected in <strong>Simon</strong>’s recent work, principally<br />
stemming from his familial ties to those who work on the land. Many of the paintings are unashamedly nostalgic in their<br />
depiction, either of the solid, fortress-like farmsteads that have survived to this day in the Welsh countryside, or of the<br />
terraced housing (much of it no longer standing) of the South Wales valleys. Likewise, Llansaint, a village poised high on<br />
its hill overlooking Carmarthen Bay, has inspired work that speaks of a certain aloofness; seemingly at one remove from<br />
the demands of the modern world. Where one can find the time to converse with a stray dog, or a donkey, to listen to the<br />
wind in the trees, and to watch the clouds tumble out of the western skies. Straightforward testaments to a more<br />
considered, and more considerate, way of life.
