Stanley Simmonds on view in Central Brighton
A range of Stanley Simmonds paintings are on show in the Members' Room at www.officreche.com. The co-working space has been recently revamped by the stylist Leesa Whisker (http://www.whiskeragency.co.uk) - she's the one mimicing Cynthia Simmonds' pose beneath her portrait in the photograph below?!
The images of the gorgeous space were taken by the photographer Mi Elfverson (www.truenorthphoto.co.uk). Elizabeth Moody-Stuart, the director of Officrèche, is married to Ben Simmonds, a grand-nephew of Stanley Simmonds. Please contact her directly on 07957 555125 for a viewing of the works.
