Mitchell exhibited at such famous galleries as the Hanover Gallery in London and the Carstairs in New York City.

His travels with them and his associations at an early age with a theatrical and literary crowd gave him a taste for the exotic.  Wesley Simpson was the husband of designer Adele Simpson. He designed fabrics, and they were used not only by Adele, but by other designers of the period. Simpson often collaborated with other artists, including Dali and Marcel Vertes.
