Mr. Burton Wasserman, a Professor of Art at Glassboro State College after viewing Shimon's paintings wrote this:
“I WAS INFINITELY IMPRESSED WITH SHIMON’S PAINTINGS. THEY ARE POWERFUL IMAGES, EVOKING IDEAS AND FEELINGS THAT TOUCH ME DEEPLY.
THEY TALK TO ME ON A SUBCONSCIOUS OR INTUITIVE LEVEL WITH EXTRAORDINARY ELOQUENCE AND IMPACT.”
