  <title>Simmi Brodie on The Franciska Show</title>
  <description>Simmi Brodie started painting since she was just four years old. &amp;quot;In the fifth grade my teacher was walking around the room and stopped at my desk and said out loud- &amp;quot;Simma is an artist!&amp;quot; and ever since then I understood that that was true.&amp;quot; Simmi was the co-art&amp;amp;nbsp;editor of her school yearbook and painted sets for a&amp;amp;nbsp;show&amp;amp;nbsp;at the age of 15 already in charge of full sets at the Maple Lake camp in Livinsgton manner. &amp;amp;nbsp; She studied art in high school with over 15 hours a week in studio time and then went on to&amp;amp;nbsp;majoring&amp;amp;nbsp;in&amp;amp;nbsp;art at&amp;amp;nbsp;St. Thomas&amp;amp;nbsp;Aquinas with one semester left to graduate. &amp;amp;nbsp; Simmi founded an interior design company BLS designs with her mother and sister. They designed commercial showrooms in Manhattan and then Simmi continued solo for thirty years. &amp;amp;nbsp; Simmi belonged to the Artist Studio in Manhattan&amp;amp;nbsp;for 4 years, her art was featured in three exhibitions including the Gallery Madison&amp;amp;nbsp;90. Simmi always pursued her passion for art and studied at the Rockland center for the arts, painted with Carolyn Peterson and has learned from teaching her many students.&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Simmi sold a number of paintings over the years and has been featured as the cover art on Franciska's albums. She also paints &amp;amp;amp; engraves stunning walking sticks that make her look like the most fashionable grandmother in town. Simmi Brodie is currently looking for an agent to help sell her art. </description>
