He trained at Camberwell School of Art and started work as an architectural draughtsman. Early in 1940 he was drafted into a small group of war artists producing propaganda work for the Ministry of Defence. During the war he also produced war maps and impressions of battles for the Daily Express and worked as an Air Raid Officer. It was at this time that he began to exhibit his paintings at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. After the war he worked as a freelance designer for the aircraft industry, the railways and on road safety campaigns but his passion was for painting. He perfected the use of a clay coated paper in combination with watercolour and finished the work with a coat of varnish to add depth. He also worked in oils. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, the Royal Society of Marine Artists, the New English Art Club, the Chelsea Arts Club, the Wapping Group of Artists and the London Sketch Club.
