He worked as an artist for Bethlehem Shipbuilding in East Boston, etching their ships from blueprints. During the World War I, Wilson spent two years in France. After the war he was commissioned to paint and etch American ships and marine views. During World War II, Wilson worked in Boston as an official Coast Guard artist.
