His mother taught him art yet he never went to a formal art school. He was a professional dentist, an accomplished photographer, a fanatical orchid grower and obviously a good artist painting landscapes, sea scenes and portraits.He graduated from Clark College and Harvard University Dental School, Class of 28 and worked professionally, all his life in Kenmore Square, Boston. He painted weekends and every evening after dinner in a studio.
