He has travelled to other inspiring locations on the NSW coast from Port Macquarie to Narooma, to Tasmania, Victoria and the splendid Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Recent painting trips have been to Sardinia, Bordeaux, Tuscany and Central Australia.

John has won many awards for his artworks and has held fifeen very successful solo exhibitions and numerous joint exhibitions. He has works in private collections throughout Australia and abroad and is a Fellow of the Royal Art Society of NSW.
