Biography
painter and newspaper engraver, was born in Cheltenham, Vic. He studied at the National Gallery of Victoria Schools in about 1910. A member of the Victorian Artists’ Society, he earned a living from painting throughout the first years of his marriage in the early 1900s, specialising in small decorative fan designs on silk inspired by Chinese art. He exhibited them and other artworks with the Fine Art Society in 1926-27 and Melba purchased two fan designs. As a result of the exhibition, he was commissioned to decorate the foyer of Melbourne’s Regent Theatre (which was later badly damged by a fire).
