In 1904 he went on a trip through Europe, and later spent a short time at Belfast School of Art. In 1928 he published Psychological Satyr or The Hounds of Hell, which he had written and illustrated. In 1935 Why was published. In 1939 he held an exhibition of sculpture, paintings and drawings at Magee's Gallery, Belfast.
