He had his first one-man show in London at the St George’s Gallery in 1957, followed by many others including at Dartington Hall, Devon, 1959, Plymouth City Art Gallery, 1966, and two major shows with Austin/Desmond Fine Art in 1989 and 1990.

Retrospective exhibitions were mounted in Plymouth and Exeter following his death in 1997.
