Biographical information

Born in Junction City, Kansas, he
was a painter who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Royal Academy in Munich, and in Paris.

In 1916, he wandered through and painted Canyon de Chelly in Arizona and returned again in 1917. Three of his paintings from this time are in the collection at Hubbell Trading Post at Ganado. Their style, emotive with bright color, suggests early modernism influenced by Fauvism. He was a member of the Chicago Society of Artists, the American Watercolor Society, and the Mural Painters of America. A long-time resident of New York City, he was represented there by the Montross Gallery.
