The artist appears first by name in the Newlyn cuttings book in a 1926 review by 'Toestrap' for the Cornishman as an exhibitor of crafts in the Summer Exhibition of Arts & Crafts (unspecified).

In 1928, specification is made that leatherwork was shown. It is likely that this craftworker may also have shown at Newlyn as early as 1925, as the same reviewer comments 'There is lots of leather-work, some of it made with a delightful Moroccan filigree effect...' when referring to the Winter Exhibition of that year.
