Since 1990 at Sheeran Lock, he has created projects for clients using art and creativity to communicate across cultural and economic boundaries, and has curated numerous exhibitions in Britain and abroad. These have included Travels with the Prince, the 50th Birthday Art Exhibition of HRH The Prince of Wales at Hampton Court Palace; Our World in the Year 2000, the United Nations Millennium Art Exhibition, which was opened by Kofi Annan at UN Headquarters, New York; Celebrate!
