About Simone Spade

Simone Spade has been a lifelong artist, drawing and creating for as long as she can remember.  Ms. Spade earned her bachelor’s degree in Studio Art/Art History from California State University. However, the first 10 years of her career began in the business sphere as an administrative and human resource manager.  Ms. Spade’s corporate background and love of art led her to earn her Florida Teaching Certificate in Art and to found Studio Spade Fine Arts for Kids, an art education studio for children of all ages.  Ms. Spade taught and operated Studio Spade Fine Art for Kids for over 15 years in South Florida, creating extensive year-round art programs for her business and other venues including Broward Art Guild, Guild’s Club of South Florida, Children’s Diagnostic Center, Mizner Country Club and Coral Springs Museum of Art.  In 2021 Ms. Spade relocated to Gainesville, Florida and participates in several plein air art groups and art associations.  Her work is displayed at Artology Gallery in the Shoppes at Thornebrook, C&C Fine Art in Ocala and at Serenity Salon in Haile Village.  Most days you can find her painting in her studio or outdoors in the beautiful Florida weather. Keep creating…Art is everything!
