It is not a new name for those who are interested in watercolor. Mr. Simmons’ paintings have been featured in a variety of publications, and on Maryland Public Television.
He is sought after as a workshop instructor, lecturer, and judge, known for his fresh, unorthodox, and often irreverent approach.
