In 1983 he received the Trustee’s Award during the Francis Cahill Memorial Exhibition from Nova University in Davie, FL and Best in Show at the 25th Annual M. Allen Hortt Memorial Competition. In 1986 he received a Florida Artist Fellowship. He has exhibited extensively throughout South Florida. His paintings were sold in galleries and recently in other auctions. The proceeds of Mr. Davoli's art will be shared with Wilton Art® and the artist.

Moylan's art has been exhibited extensively across the United States in galleries, museums, and art fairs such as "Art of the 20th Century" in New York City.
