Simon Gazzard
Simon Gazzard is a landscape painter living in Muswell Hill. He paints in oils, with a vigorous and expressive style that captures the feelings of freedom and energy of living in London. He especially finds inspiration in the parkland, heaths and woods near his home and his paintings often contain London's unique mix of nature, architecture and people.
After twenty years of practising as an architect, he committed to becoming a painter in 2022. In 2023, he held solo exhibitions of his paintings in Burgh House, Hampstead and Lauderdale House, Highgate.
He was longlisted for the Jackson's Art Prize and exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Show. He was also selected for participation in the television series Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2024.
