Handford is a full time watercolorist. His work exhibits a freshness that is both graceful and winsome.

He achieved Signature Member status in the National Watercolor Society in 2009 and in the American Watercolor Society in 2023. A life member of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters, he is also a member of the Transparent Watercolor Society of America (Master status), Watercolor West, and North East Watercolor Society.
