He received scholarships to attend the San Francisco Art Institute* and the Art Students League* in New York City. While taking a still life class taught by William Merritt Chase he met fellow art student Georgia O'Keeffe. They became quite serious, even considering marriage and travel to Europe.

He corresponded with O'Keeffe for several years between 1908 and 1912. According to one O'Keeffe biography, George met Georgia O'Keeffe once again about 1970 when he attended an exhibition of her paintings in New York City.In 1918, he married Alice West Blackwell. He joined the army in 1920, serving with the New York Coast Artillery Corps until 1923, when he resigned with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Through the 1920s he continued studies at the Art Students League. Early in his career he did many illustrations for books and magazines but later focused on window displays and advertising.He was a member of the San Francisco Art Association*, Art Students League, and the Society of American Fakirs (a satirical art club). He exhibited at the Art Students League and won numerous prizes.He died in 1978 at the age of 95 in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
