Simone Hale

Simone began drawing and painting from a background in Graphic Design, having worked in Australia and the U.K. as a Magazine Design and Layout Artist and freelanced or worked on titles including Livingetc, 25 Beautiful Homes, 25 Beautiful Kitchens, 25 Beautiful Gardens, Homes and Ideas, Ideal Home, What’s On TV, Vogue Living, Australian Interiors, Gardening Australia, and Country Style Diary. Growing up in Tasmania she developed a deep love for old houses and a passion for Interiors and currently paints from a rambling, 150 year old house, in Armidale, in regional NSW. Simone creates small, unframed oil paintings on board with the idea that they will sit comfortably among curated items on a kitchen shelf or beside a bed in an individual, unique interior - almost as if they were vintage items themselves. Her paintings are perfect for pairing with some fresh picked foliage for a well styled home interior, airbnb or other guest accommodation or as part of a gallery wall collection.

Simone works part-time at the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) as a Gallery Assistant, has taught art to kids - Young Creatives (Ages 12-18yrs), After School Art (Ages 6-12yrs) and continues to freelance as an Illustrator and Graphic Designer.
