Bobby Bushong, a student at the Museum School in Boston, Massachusetts and the Worcester Art Museum School with Walter Gropius. Bobby joined the AAN (Artist Association of Nantucket) in 1952 and moved to Nantucket with his sister Polly in 1955 following a successful career in commercial art in New York City. His studio was on Cliff Road, and he exhibited at the Lobster Pot Gallery as well as the Kenneth Taylor Galleries. One show at KTG, in 1954 featured his and Polly's paintings.
Bobby and Polly helped craft the social circuit of artists that dominated the 1960's on Nantucket Island. He was famous for his outrageous sense of humor, while Polly was known for attending parties dressed as a mysterious character Cora Pratt, in outlandish wigs and buck teeth.
Bobby also painted for Tom Tru Corporation. The paintings and wall murals were distributed by Raymor, located in Lambertville, New Jersey. Many of their "original" wall hangings were by Bobby Bushong and are often signed "R. Bushong"
