He exhibited at the Royal Academy, London from 1891. He also exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, the New English Art Club, the Royal Society for Painters in Oil, the Goupil Gallery, London and the Paris Salon.
In 1919 he married fellow artist Laura Clunas and moved to Salisbury, then Bushey, before settling in Andover where he lived until his death in 1935.
