About 1920 he moved to Los Angeles and began studying with Alson Clark and exhibiting locally. In California success came almost immediately through the patronage of Mrs. Henry Huntington. After traveling in Mexico and spending one year in France, he lived briefly in Taos, NM in the late 1920s, but then returned to southern California where he lived for his remaining years. He exhibited in southern California until 1934 and during the remainder of the 1930s was employed by the WPA. Under their auspices he painted murals in Riverside High School, the First Nat'l Bank in Pasadena, and the Huntington Park Post Office. Little is known of his activities after 1940. Chamberlain died in Orange County, CA on July 17, 1961. Exh: Painters & Sc
