Alan is a multi-award winner in his medium of watercolour.

Since migrating to Adelaide in 2007 he has won about 15 top awards and 60 combined awards. He has had 5 solo exhibitions and 4 group exhibitions. Being a finalist in the  Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize was a highlight in 2002 and a finalist in the Pro Hart Landscape Art Prize 2017, Fleurieu Art Prize and Adelaide Hills Landscape Art Prize 2017.
