He has been awarded support through Arts South Australia and the Helpmann Academy and in 2021 undertook a mentorship with Australian artist Alex Seton.
His work is held in collections including the Hilton Adelaide, Adelaide Airport, City of Adelaide, and numerous other private collections nationally.
