His work has been included in exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts, The National Portrait Gallery, The Cricket Hill Gallery in New York, The Leith Gallery in Edinburgh and The Stephen Barclay Gallery in London amongst many others. In 1990 he won the Gold Medal for Fine Art at the National Eisteddfod of Wales.
