He has had three portraits hung in the Archibald Prize, at the Art Gallery of N.S. W., a landscape in the Wynne Prize, and has won First Prize in Sydney's prestigious Royal Easter Show Art competitions three times.

His works are included in many corporate collections both in Australia and overseas, in State Government Collections, and in Commonwealth Government Collections.
