In 1988 series of paintings of rare Magnolias submited to the RHS won a Silver Gilt medal and led to a first solo show of paintings.
Since then I have exhibited every year in my house in Watchet, sometimes as part of the Somerset Arts Weeks and also in galleries here and there in the UK , most notably the Medici Gallery in London and with Wolsely Fine Art in their Cork Street still-life exhibitions
