He exhibited at the National Academy of Design, the Corcoran Gallery, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Salons of America and the Panama Pacific Exhibition of 1915. His paintings are now featured in institutions throughout the United States, including the Bennington Museum in Vermont and the Springville Museum of Art in Utah.
