About Simon Robin Stephens

My journey as an artist began not with formal training, but with a deep need to create grounding art for therapy and healing—first for myself, then as calming wall art for home office and therapeutic spaces.

Growing up neurodivergent in a world that often felt overwhelming, I discovered that watercolour offered something unique: a medium that embraced unpredictability, that found beauty in chaos, and that taught me to work with my ADHD rather than against it. This became the foundation for my peaceful watercolour artwork UK approach.

What started as personal refuge became something more when I realized my Carshalton ponds paintings and South London heritage artwork were helping others find calm too. Therapy professionals began commissioning grounding art for their healing spaces. Collectors shared how certain pieces helped them through difficult times, making them unique gifts for Carshalton residents and beyond.

"Watercolour taught me that beauty often emerges from letting go of control—a lesson that extends far beyond the canvas into creating truly peaceful spaces."

Today, from my South London studio, I create artwork specifically designed to support mental health and wellbeing. Each painting in my "Sanctuaries of the Mind" collection explores themes of healing, belonging, and the invisible safe spaces we all carry within us—perfect as calming wall art for home office environments and therapy rooms.

Working with watercolour continues to teach me patience, acceptance, and the profound beauty found in imperfection. These lessons inform not just my art, but my approach to creating grounding art for therapy rooms and peaceful environments that support others navigating their own journeys toward calm.
