He was a grandson of Benjamin Brandreth, a wealthy manufacturer of pills, who purchased a large estate in the Adirondacks surrounding a lake now known as Brandreth park. His father was a noted ornithological collector and summers were spent in the Adirondacks. He went to study at Cornell University where he trained in bird art under Louis Agassiz Fuertes. From 1928, he managed the family factory business (which produced humane animal traps among other items) while also producing paintings and illustrated several books.
