He won Best Irish Artist at the 20th National Open Art Exhibition in London in October 2016 and has exhibited at the Royal Academy Annual Exhibition in London, the RHA Annual Exhibition in Dublin and the RUA Annual Exhibition in Belfast.
His work is seen in the collections at Adare Manor, Office of Public Works, Ballinglen Arts Foundation, NUI Galway, Mastercard UK and Digicel and also in private collections in USA, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Belgium.
In 2024, he joined the Graphic Studio Dublin and printmaking has enabled him to bring a more graphic approach to his artworks.
In July 2024, he jointly won the Hamilton Award at Cairde Visual with David Smith for two of his Sligo Mountain paintings, ‘Copes’ and ‘Glencar’.
