Alongside finished paintings, the Simonson studio produces a steady stream of painted studies and experimental works. Executed primarily in acrylic on paper, these pieces serve as a space for exploration—an opportunity to test ideas, compositions, color relationships, and new approaches without the expectations of a fully resolved painting. Some of these studies become the foundation for later works, while others remain independent statements valued for their spontaneity and energy. Many collectors are drawn to these pieces for the direct glimpse they provide into the artist’s creative process and the freedom with which they were created.
