==About the artist==

Born in [[Rochester, New York]] and a self-taught artist, most of Simms' work involves the use of [[geometric]] forms such as [[circle]]s, [[triangle]]s and [[rectangle]]s.<ref name="ARTSPARKhandout"/><ref name="SimmsStatement">{{cite web | author=John Simms (sculptor) | year=| title=Artist's Statement | work=Statement | publisher=John E. Simms | url=http://www.johnesimms.com/statement.html | accessdate= 4 April 2010}}</ref> Simms generally creates a [[maquette]] which can often weigh upwards of fifty pounds. Influenced by [[Euclidean geometry]], his larger works are created from aluminum or [[steel]], with smaller and medium -sized works being created out of [[copper]], [[stainless steel]] or [[bronze]]. A finish is usually placed upon the sculptures to add texture and color.<ref name="SimmsStatement"/> Simms has exhibited work at the [[Grand Teton Music Festival]] and other regional [[Western United States|Western]] events and his artwork is also seen in permanent collections of the [[Science Museum Oklahoma]], the [[Bellevue Downtown Park]], [[Hudson Gardens]], among others.
