Ward studied business in London while he also studied art with English painter William Henry Hunt. From 1850 to 1851, he lived in New York and exhibited at the National Academy of Design. Although he spent most of his career in Canada, he also held a studio in New York from 1868 to 1872. Ward's paintings are housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Addison Gallery of American Art, Smith College of Art, and the Currier Gallery of Art.
