Born in Dublin he exhibited at the RHA from 1875, won the Albert Scholarship of 1881 and travelled with his friends Walter Osborne and Nathaniel Hone to Antwerp to study at Acadιmie Royale. He exhibited regularly at the RHA, and participated in Hugh Lane's 1904 Exhibition of Works by Irish Painters in London.
