He exhibited regularly in London throughout the fifties and sixties at the Royal Academy, the R.B.A. and the R.I. and also in touring exhibitions in the provinces.

He has held many solo and group shows, his paintings hang in public and private collections in fourteen different countries. He lives and paints in Essex.
Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
