He has been selected as a Dobell Prize Finalist fifteen times, won the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize in 2002 and has been exhibited in the Archibald Prize eight times. He lives in Wedderburn, a small town on the Georges River south of Sydney, with his wife, the artist and Dobell Prize winner, Suzanne Archer, who is featured in much of his work. After a legal dispute between the Tweed Shire Council and the administrators of the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize resulted in the earliest winning artworks being separated from others, Fairbairn"s 2002 winning portrait of his wife is the earliest displayed in the current Moran prize collection.
