I have participated in numerous private and group shows in Norfolk as well as in London, Washington DC, South Carolina and Spain and paintings are owned by private collectors in the UK, Eire, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Switzerland and the USA.
Although I have earned many awards and accolades in competitions over the years, I sincerely now believe that artists are at their best when they respond from within rather than compete with others. Therefore, since the late 90's, I have intentionally avoided painting competitions.
