Between 1925–30 he was honorary secretary of Ulster Arts Club and worked as fine art manager for the Pollock Gallery, Belfast, also being hon. secretary and a member of Ulster Academy of Arts. He finally lived in St Austell, Cornwall, and is remembered as manager of Widgers, a paint and wallpaper store. Also showed at RWA, RSW, SSA, Walker Art Gallery and elsewhere.
