Handford is a full time watercolorist. His work exhibits a freshness that is both graceful and winsome. He paints the essence of a subject, and eliminates that which detracts from the feeling or mood. Recent awards include the Winslow Homer Special Merit Award at the 2009 Transparent Watercolor Society National Exhibition and the St. Cuthbert's Mill Award at the 2008 North East Watercolor Society Annual International Exhibition.
