In addition to the in-focus exhibition Walter Frederick Osborne: The Guinness Portrait presented in 2024, he has curated several exhibitions of the work of prominent Irish painters, among them Roderic O’Conor, John Lavery, Jack B. Yeats, and most recently Evie Hone and Mainie Jellett. He is currently working on a monographic study of the painter Nathaniel Hone (1718–1784).
