They lived in Arizona, returned to Italy, then moved back to Arizona; his father was a miner. He began painting at an early age. At one point, he was an apprentice to Diego Rivera helping him paint murals. He was passionate about the southwest, and 'Indian Country.' He is best known for his colorful paintings of Native Americans, especially children. Arizona Highways magazine began publishing his art around 1941. However, he struggled for recognition until 1960, when UNICEF reproduced one of his paintings, "Los Ninos" on their greeting cards.
