From 1982-1987 he was Foundation Head of Department, Art and Design, Western Australian College of Advanced Education (WACAE).
Key influences in his work include the mining landscapes of the Rhondda, drawing him immediately to the Western Australian Goldfields region of Western Australia, where he made many field trips to Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie townships, as well as remote and abandoned tenements in these areas.
Over time, his journeys expanded to include solo voyages to areas as diverse as Cervantes and the Pinnacles, Dampier, Karratha and Tom Price in the Pilbara, Darwin, Katherine Gorge, Kakadu and Kununurra, the Bungle Bungle Ranges, Ord River and Birdsville, Thursday Island, Tiwi Islands and Cape York.
