ExhibitionsSome of my works feature in exhibitions of The Royal Art Society of NSW (North Sydney), Shoalhaven Art Society and Kiama Art Society.
In July 2025, my painting Sikorsky Seahawk with the Royal Australian Navy celebrating the MH-60R helicopter, featured at a special Sikorsky Australia event recognising the significant contribution of this helicopter to operations of the Royal Australian Navy. In October 2024, my work 'Life on the Harbour, Sydney' (pictured below) was named winner of the Maritime Award at the Australian Society of Marine Artists' National Exhibition at the Victorian Arts Society in East Melbourne. The exhibition catalogue with images and details of all works can be found here. 
In February 2023, 3 of my original works including these 2 paintings below, were selected for inclusion in the The Lady Nelson Art Exhibition presented by TasPorts and the Australian Society of Marine Artists in Hobart. The exhibition catalogue can be viewed here.
