He studied briefly in both Antwerp and Paris, and then returned to Boston to further pursue his education and career as a marine painter.
His oils and watercolors were exhibited throughout New England, with numerous submissions to the Poland Spring Art Exhibitions over a twenty-year period. His paintings often depicted historical subjects, usually ships and maritime events, which represent his best works.

Eastman Chase Gallery in Boston (1886), and the Jordan Marsh Gallery (1896 - 1897). Many of his seascapes are of Boston Harbor and Mt. Desert, Maine. He is one of the White Mountain Artists who was known to have painted in the mountains of New Hampshire.
