He has been a member of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists since 2001 and last year collected 2 commendations in the national Australia At Large competition.
He held his first solo exhibition in 2006 and followed the success with the formation of the Untamed Artist Network, a group of wildlife artists spanning the globe who shared his passion for wildlife conservation and pledged to donate a portion of their profits to wildlife programs.
His giving nature also extended to others as he became an active participant in online forums such as wetcanvas, showing his working methods and helping nurture the skills of his fellow artists. His passion for teaching soon lead to online art classes, allowing each student to learn at their own pace in their own space. He also earned a reputation as a talented demonstrator, sought out by many art shows around the state.
Early 2008 has seen the first of his collaborations with Melbourne Zoo come to fruition in the form of the Twilight art demonstrations taking place throughout February as part of the annual Twilight concert series.
