Simon Terry

A longstanding friend of the Centre of Britain, Simon has given many lecture sessions on art and artists at our residential study weekends. He is based at Felton, Northumberland and is a part time lecturer in Art and Art History in sites throughout  the County, and is now teaching basic lino printing. He has have prints in Galleries, Alnmouth and Hexham.

When we opened the Hotel, Simon was commissioned by us to create the Triptych on the long wall in the Garden Suite Each painting in the triptych is a collage depicting the three great epochs of the town:- ROMAN, REIVER and INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. Finally, the fourth, large painting was commissioned with the remit to show how the past epochs now combine to present perhaps the best basis for the future, new epoch of Haltwhistle. As a tourism objective, appealing to visitors from all over world. Not aiming to depict any particular scene, the paining includes symbolic architectural, historic and landscape features of Haltwhistle and the surrounding area.
