The official war artist for the NZ Expeditionary force in WWI, he also became a well known plein air painter of Wellington landscapes, with particular attention to atmospheric weather affects.
He was associated with James Nairn's Silverstream Group. His work is represented in all the major public galleries in New Zealand as well as many private collections.
