With Logan, he was a founding member of The Thirteen Watercolorists and was a frequent exhibitor with them during the years before the war. Although he was based in California as a member of the San Francisco Illustrators' Club and the Bohemian Club, he was also active in Seattle as a member of the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Painters.
