He studied under John J. Holland, and became known as a landscape painter, working in oil and watercolor. For many years, he worked as a scene painter in New York, and produced also a panorama of New York, which was exhibited in that city. In 1830 he went to New Orleans, where he died of cholera four years later. He was one of the original thirty members of the National Academy of Design, and exhibited there, in 1831, a “View of the Falls of Mount Ida.” His “Macdonough's Victory on Lake Champlain” was engraved by Benjamin Tanner in 1816.
