Born in Cornwall, the artist trained first as an engineer before turning to art, and exhibited in London, Manchester and Paris.  He lived at 'Westbourne', St Austell, but had a studio in Plymouth.   Some of his work was purchased by King Edward VII.

A correspondent (2023) has told us of a painting by this artist in his possession, entitled 'Barton Farm, Pentewan'.
