He lived in Australia and America painting wildlife especially on commission from the Scuba Diving World. In 1996 he was accepted into the prestigious Society of Animal Artists (USA) and his work has been selected for their annual National tours since then. He received the ‘Award of Excellence’ in 1998 and 2000 for the ‘Little blue Heron’ and the ‘Spotted Dolphins and Queen Conch’.
