He initially sold his works door to door while working as an art teacher, before becoming a full-time artist in 1965. He pursued a variety of ways of selling his paintings, including touring the country with G-Plan furniture selling to furniture stores, exhibiting at the Birmingham Spring Fair and the Bayswater Road art exhibition in London, selling through art galleries as well as collecting hundreds of regular private collectors along the way.
