The artist has exhibited at the RA, Leicester Galleries and Whitechapel Art Gallery; the National Portrait Gallery and Aberdeen Art Gallery both hold his work. His many public commissions include 'Boy with a Dolphin' at Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, while among his bronzes of sporting legends are Pele, Arnold Palmer, and the full-size sculpture of Fred Perry positioned opposite the members' enclosure at Wimbledon.
