He studied art at the age of thirteen under Arthur Lismer at the Art Gallery of Toronto and then under Carl Schaefer and Charles Goldhamer at the Central Technical School, Toronto. He enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces in 1943 and was appointed an official war artist in 1944, serving in Europe with the Fourth Canadian Armoured Division.
