At the end of the war, he spent a short time in Greece at the Athens School of Art and then the Exeter College of Art. He was a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists and the Penwith Society of Arts, and exhibited regularly in St Ives (including at the Sail Loft Gallery), Plymouth and London.[1] His artwork is in several public collections, details of which can be found on the Art UK website.[2]
