However, as Alexander Graham Bell said, “when one door closes another opens...". Indeed, Simon N. Bradley was subsequently invited to work with architect Michael Mallinson and Professor Barry Kemp CBE on the Amarna Project. Simon created full-size replica Papyrus Columns, working firstly in the UK, then Egypt at the Small Aten Temple at Tell el-Amarna, Minya province from 1991 to 1994.
Thanks to his interest in computing, thirst for knowledge, and proactive nature, Simon also studied part-time to qualify as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, MCSE (1998/99).

With the offer of funding, and continuing his rehabilitation, Simon N. Bradley requalified with his second Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art, returning this time as a student to Newport School of Art & Design, Wales (2009/10), where his interests moved from three- to two- dimensional work, to meet both his newly evolving interest in colour and the limitations resulting from his injuries.
Simon has now established his studio in the Artisan Quarter of Walcot, Bath, where he continues to develop and exercise his passion for creativity.
