In 1911 he left for a two-year stay in Paris to study at Academies Julian and Grand Chaumiere. When he returned to the States in 1913 he settled in Southern California, where he was active in Pasadena, La Jolla, and served as director of the Santa Ana Art Academy. A founder of the Laguna Beach Art Association in 1918, he bought beachfront property there on which he built a home and studio. By 1928 he was living on the Monterey Peninsula and mentored many in the local art scene. Although he painted landscapes, he is best known for his coastals and marines.
