​Alan also rendered three permanent exhibits in the National Museum of Natural Sciences of Canada and is currently illustrating a children's book commissioned by the Ottawa Catholic School Board. He works in a variety of media such as oil, acrylic, watercolour, graphite and colored pencil and is renowned for capturing the essence of his subject in his portraits as seen in his samples below.
