His paintings are in many museums, including the Smithsonian Institution, and his commercial works were printed in leading national publications for clients such as Wrigley, Coca-Cola, and General Electric.In 1970, Lockhart was offered two opportunities to produce his art on porcelain china, a medium he had little experience using. The first project came from Pickard China, America’s oldest fine-china company, which envisioned a limited edition series that utilized Lockhart’s wild-bird paintings. The series began with eight collector’s plates. Each piece had the artist signature on the front with a 23-carat-gold design bordering the art.

Global collectors continue to follow the Pickard porcelain art that reproduced seventeen of Lockhart’s paintings.
