He exhibited at many galleries and shows throughout the U.K. After WWII, and in the Spring Exhibition of 1949, he gave his address as Norland, Parc Bean, St Ives. He and his wife both died in St Ives. In 1962 a Memorial Exhibition was held in Bankfield, near Halifax, Yorkshire, where he was born and began to show his artistic talents; a further show of his work was held there in 1973.
