He exhibited at the Royal Ulster Academy last autumn and has had a recent solo exhibition, ‘Looking Out’ at the Roberto Polo Gallery, Brussels and currently is showing Monotypes at Rabley Drawing Centre, Marlborough and he has a forthcoming solo exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery in February, 2017.
