He began his career in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum before moving to the National Gallery, London, where he now works in the Education Department. While at the National Gallery he has curated exhibitions for a number of artists, including Anthony Caro, Peter Blake and Bridget Riley. As a printmaker, he addresses the gap between the artistic traditions of Europe and Japan.
