Career

After completing his studies in The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague, Netherlands he decided to move to Canada with his family, in 1952.

While at Beal Art School he also had a period of intense and prolific creativity and had many exhibitions of his art work which included printmaking, chalk pastel and charcoal drawings, and watercolours, . In these art works he portrays still life, landscape and portraits not only from his country but also on many features of Canadian life. He was a member of the Nancy Poole Gallery in London and Toronto and then the Thielsen Gallery in London Ontario.
