He maintains two studios, one in New York and one in London, and in Spring 2008 has no less than six exhibitions showing his work, including in London, Brighton, Bournemouth and, of course, Wolverhampton. His work is represented in over 30 public and corporate collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Royal College of Art; and the Victoria & Albert Museum.” Signed by Sue Fahy - Head of Fine Art and Photography.
