His work has proliferated in recent years and is held in collections from every corner of Australia and across the globe. His artwork has been commissioned for children’s books, appeared on Chanel 10’s Healthy Homes Australia and has been a finalist in many competitive art prizes including The Brisbane Rotary Art Prize, Queensland Figurative, the Art Lovers Australia Art Prize and the Lethbridge 20,000.

He is a member of the Queensland Wildlife Artist’s Society and was the People’s choice recipient for the Societies' 2019 exhibition. In 2020 REK was The feature artist and guest judge at the Royal Queensland art Societies' Biannual Exhibition "All Creatures and Wild Things" Held at Petrie Terrace Gallery.

On emerging REK committed to using his work to support and raise awareness for worthy causes. in the subsequent fifteen years he has donated dozens of paintings to raise funds for The Birdlife Australia Foundation, The RBWH foundation, Children’s Hospital Foundation and The Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation to name just a few.
