His work resides not only in the National Gallery but is included in many of the most prestigious corporate and private art collections.

Responding to the contemporary desire to go back to nature, The Power Plant's summer group exhibition highlights interspecies encounters. What happens when humans, animals, and the natural world meet? What forms of communication, miscommunication, intimacy, and exchange ensue? This exhibition presents the work of leading international artists alongside that of newer figures whose work has gained international attention. Ranging in tone from reverent to decidedly iconoclastic, and created with media including photography, film / video, sculpture, and painting, works in the exhibition examine the lure of primeval states and primitive behaviours, and the urge to understand oneself as wild at heart.

The Art Fuzion Revolution. Established in September 2008, The Fuzionists are a group of artists who collaborate through a "Drawing Fuzion" – a creation that communicates visual language through a unique and innovative method. These artists bring a diversity of skills and spring from various artistic careers, to advocate a free-style approach to the spontaneity of the work. On a single surface, individuals contribute a mark as an expression of themselves, which then develops through the rotation of each artist's position into a collaboration of images. As these images evolve into a rich symbolic language of signs and patterns, the Fuzionists begin to reflect the conceptual ideas that reference their inner thoughts and feelings. Fuzionists express the nature of freedom through a process, which utilizes free association when analyzing and shaping the title for the final piece.
