As artist, his paintings appear in dozens of private collections, while his landscape and planning designs are found throughout Maryland, D.C., Michigan and Virginia.

He was a board officer of the prestigious American Society of Architectural Illustrators (ASAI), where his art toured the country with their annual exhibit.
