1859 eta 1870 artean liburuetarako ilustrazioak egin zituen eta 1870eko hamarkadan eliza eta eraikin publikoetarako muralak margotzen hasi zen. Sarritan bidaiatu zuen Asiara eta Hego Ozeano Barera, eta kultura horiek eragina izan zuten haren margolanetan.

Beirateak diseinatu zituen eta kolorean eta berrikuntza teknikoetan espezializatu zen. 1880. urtean kristalen gainjartzeei buruzko patente bat erregistratu zuen, Louis Comfort Tiffany aurkariarekin liskarra eragin zuena.

Diseinuko Akademia Nazionaleko, Artista Amerikarren Elkarteko, Muraletako Margolarien Elkarte Nazionaleko eta Arte eta Letren Amerikar Akademiako kide izan zen.
