My Inspiration
"The initial inspiration for making art was from way back when my dad had brought an art book on Surrealist artist Abdul Mati Klarwein in 1983 - Also famous for his album covers for Miles Davis and Santana, both of whom I admire."

What an amazing inspirational artist Simmi is, her collection of artwork is simply beautiful. Her use of colours and ideas are perfect if you want to sit and immerse yourself in a little mindfulness.

"Each piece in the 'Breathe' collection is a representation of personal growth that I've experienced, that's allowed me to recognise my blessings and to take on everyday challenges.
This collection has been created through the soothing effects of plants and to inspire others to contemplate and take action where they feel they need to. Especially, those who are experiencing emotional or physical difficulties." Simmi 2022
