He graduated from a local municipal school and traveled to Riga to study art. He studied drawing in technical school of Riga German craftsmen society and later traveled to St. Petersburg. There he started studies in Russian Imperial academy of art in 1883. He studied under Bogdan Willewalde and specialised in military art. In this period he was known as an informal leader and consolidator of Latvian artists in St. Petersburg. He actively participated in the local Latvian artist society Rūķis (Dwarf).^[1]

In 1892 he graduated and returned to Latvia. He lived mostly in his native Rūjiena. In 1897 he underwent a minor nose surgery in Riga but died quite suddenly from blood-poisoning on March 21. He was buried in Rūjiena town cemetery.
