Eighteen years would pass before he'd claim his degree in Fine Arts from Cornwall's esteemed Falmouth School of Art in 1989. Following graduation, Allen relocated to London where his artistic journey began to unfold. Within city walls, he immersed himself in the art world as a technician at Waddington Galleries, refining his craft and cultivating new ideas. This experience later led him to cross paths with Stewart Heslop Frames, where Allen trained under master craftsmen to become an accomplished gilder. Eventually assuming leadership as Studio Manager, he refined his business acumen. As the misty hills of Cornwall beckoned in 1994, Allen turned his attention to the studio that would be the hub of his creativity. With every stroke and each meticulously placed layer, he poured himself into his craft. Emerging was a unique style that soon defined his body of work: the intricate gilded wall sculptures. Established as a renowned full-time sculptor in Cornwall's lush landscape near St. Ives' captivating coastline, Simon Allen has come full circle. The artist is wed to one beloved and blessed with two loving daughters who brighten his daily walk on life's path.
