Married to fellow artist Taka COCHRANE, they lived at Parc-an-Carne, St Ives. He specialised in landscapes, detailed interiors, and delicate and refined still life painting. He was elected a founder member of STISA, and agreed to the role of Secretary in 1928, no-one else at the AGM having volunteered for this important but arduous task. He resigned his position in 1933 due to ill health, but continued to exhibit.
