His professional journey saw him exhibiting with the Royal Academy, the British Institute, and the Old Water-colour Society. His artistic output included historical scenes and depictions of everyday Irish life, such as May-day at Finglas, Co. Dublin (1839) and An Irish Market-day, Ballybay, Co. Monaghan (1841).
