EXHIBITIONS
I have partcipated in numerous exhbitions over the past 30 years most of which were before the developments that I have made in Non-Toxic Printmaking. In the past 12 years I have participated in many group exhibitions the most notable being Re-Imaging the Multiple. This exhibition was originally curatored by (the late) Professor George Roberts from Boise State University. This exhibition commenced at Boise State University and then went to Utah State College and then to R.I.T. It will be continuing in Scotland and other venues around the world. My aim is to keep this exhibition "alive" as a memorial to Professor Grorge Roberts.
