Educated at the San Francisco Art Institute, a great part of Theodore Wores’s artistic development stemmed from his travels to Japan, Hawaii, Samoa and Spain. Back in San Francisco, he turned his painterly attention to his native landscape and city, most notably of Chinatown. His later years were spent in his studio in Saratoga, painting scenes in an Impressionist style.
