Woods before studying under Raymond Dabb Yelland and Virgil Williams at the San Francisco School of Design. His often moody and dramatic Western landscapes are seen by many as artistic descendants of the French Barbizon school. He is represented in the permanent collections of the Oakland Museum, the Witt Art Library at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, the De Young Museum and the White House.
