After graduating from the Royal Academy he was offered a one-man show at the Royal Academy Schools by the Keeper, Peter Greenham. He later took part in 'The Broad Horizon' exhibition organized by The National Trust Foundation for Art in association with Agnew's. The exhibition consisted of paintings of Trust properties.
