I am a painter who writes in between pictures. I write poetry (occasionally) and short stories and am currently working on a novel for my own amusement.

I live in the Welsh mountains here in the UK. I’m surounded by nature. Foxes and badgers have made our garden their sanctuary and at night the air is thick with the beating wings of the great barn owls roosting in the old Hawthorn trees next to our cottages.

However, painting is really what I live for and is how I define and express myself. My work is in private collections in France, Canada, America, Turkey, Tunisia, Kuwait and the UK.
I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and perhaps making new ones on Red Bubble.

The sea is still. Ivan is sitting on the sand, / Waiting for the whale to arrive from the violet ocean. / He sighs like a cat with one life left.

The Tiny Hunchbacked Horse (1) by Simon R Gladdish & Vladimir Grounine

Behind the mountains and the forests, / Beyond wide oceans and broad seas, / Against the sky, upon the earth

Torn Tickets and Routine Returns by Simon and Rusty Gladdish

At the Cactus Tree Motel / With its cool marble mosaic floors / And ever opening and closing doors,
