Having recently exhibited at the Gallery Rouge in Hertfordshire to rave reviews, Rich Simmons is charting high on my ‘Ones to Watch’ list. At 24, Simmons is self-taught and became an ambassador for The Prince's Trust, after discovering his talent when struggling with problems at home.As regular followers will know, I am a huge fan of street art so I was instantly drawn to Rich’s intricate and playful homage-portraits and my respect instantly jumped up a few ranks when I heard that he founded an organisation called Art Is The Cure that helps give young people all over the world an outlet.
As a fellow 24 year-old I’m beyond impressed and wish more people of our generation would step-up and share their wisdom. As for me, I’m still procrastinating.
