He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to art in 1976 and has exhibited widely in Australia, Europe, England, United States of America, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Pro Hart’s work is represented in many private collections, international collections, the National Gallery and most of Australia’s State Galleries.
