Hope In Bloom — Selected for The Salvation Army Easter Card 2026

My watercolour "Hope In Bloom" has been chosen by The Salvation Army UK to appear on their 2026 Easter donation thank-you card — distributed to over 600,000 supporters nationwide.

It is a deep honour to have this painting carry a message of hope and renewal to so many people. Daffodils have always felt like nature's announcement that something better is coming — and that felt exactly right for Easter.

Why I Paint These Sanctuaries

"Living with ADHD means my world is often loud, scattered, overwhelming. Painting is how I make sense of it. Each watercolour is a sanctuary — a quiet space where silence has colour and light feels like belonging."

When you bring one of my paintings into your space, you're not just buying art. You're inviting calm into the chaos. You're creating a visual anchor for overwhelmed minds (yours, your clients', your family's).

Every brushstroke is intentional. Every colour choice therapeutic. These aren't just landscapes — they're painted breathwork.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about therapeutic watercolours

Who buys your art?

My primary collectors are therapists, counsellors, and wellness practitioners across Surrey and South London who need calming visuals for their therapy rooms. I also work with individuals with ADHD, anxiety, or HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) traits who need sanctuary at home.

Why watercolours for therapy spaces?

Watercolours have a soft, non-distracting quality that creates visual calm. Unlike bold abstract art, watercolours don't demand attention - they hold quiet space. According to a 2023 study published in the Art Therapy Journal, 67% of therapists prefer neutral, calming art for counselling rooms.

How does ADHD influence your art?

Living with ADHD means my world is often loud, scattered, and overwhelming. Painting is how I make sense of it. Each piece is a visual sanctuary - the calm I need to function. That authenticity resonates with people seeking the same peace.

Where are you based?

I live and work in Carshalton, South London (London Borough of Sutton). I draw inspiration from local landscapes - the River Wandle, Nonsuch Park, Grove Park, and the historic villages of Surrey. Most of my collectors are within 30 miles: Epsom, Sutton, Croydon, Kingston, and across Surrey.

What sizes do you offer?

Original watercolours range from £150 (A5) to £495 (A3). Archival prints start at £3.99 for greeting cards, £19.99 for A4 prints, £29.99 for A3 mounted prints. All originals come with a certificate of authenticity and are ready to frame.

Surrey & South London Art Delivery

Based in Carshalton, South London, my therapeutic watercolours are inspired by local landscapes—Grove Park's ancient oaks, the River Wandle's quiet meanders, Nonsuch Park's autumn golds, and the historic streets of Carshalton village.

How These Paintings Are Made

Each piece takes time, care, and intention. No rushing, no shortcuts, no assembly lines—just honest craftsmanship.

Hand-Painted Slowly

Each piece takes 3–7 days. Layered washes, waiting for paper to dry between sessions. Sometimes I paint the sky five times before it feels right.

No rushing, no assembly lines. Just patience and watercolour.

Archival Materials Only

100% cotton Arches cold-press paper (300gsm). Lightfast watercolour pigments. Museum-quality framing for originals.

These paintings are made to last lifetimes, not years.

What Collectors Say

Trusted by therapy practices and art lovers

"I purchased three pieces for my therapy practice and they have transformed the space. The calming watercolours create exactly the atmosphere I hoped for - clients often comment on how peaceful they feel the moment they enter. Simon's understanding of therapeutic environments really shows in his work."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell

Clinical Psychologist

"Simon's watercolours have a quality I haven't found anywhere else — there's genuine stillness in them. I bought "Buckland Lake" for our sitting room and every time I walk past it I stop. It's one of those paintings that changes depending on the light. I couldn't be happier with my purchase."

Margaret H.

Collector

"As a Carshalton resident, I've walked past these scenes countless times, but Simon captures something special - a sense of place and memory that makes me see my hometown with fresh eyes. "Reflections at Carshalton Ponds" hangs in our hallway and never fails to lift my spirits."

James Richardson

Art Collector, Sutton

Based in Sutton, South London

I live and paint in Carshalton, in the London Borough of Sutton. My paintings are inspired by local landscapes — the River Wandle, Nonsuch Park, Surrey countryside and the green spaces of South London. Collectors span Sutton, Croydon, Epsom, Kingston and across the UK.
