There he worked as a stonemason and furniture designer and gradually developed into an independent painter and sculptor. He was educated at the Hague Drawing Academy and received painting lessons from Willy Fleur. His preference was the faithful portrayal of still lifes and flowers. He also drew landscapes and animals in a freer, impressionistic style.
