Photograph of Brad Cushman, presenter of Picture This!Brad Cushman moved to Little Rock from Durant, Oklahoma where he taught and served as Art Department Chair at Southeastern Oklahoma State University where he worked for 12.5 years.

Cushman was born in Springfield, Illinois and attended Illinois College in Jacksonville, where he received a B.A. in Studio Art.  He attended Cranbrook Academy of Art, Detroit, MI where he received and MFA in Painting.

Cushman and a road crew of family and friends and students participated in the Annual Art Car Parade in Houston, TX (1998 – 2001). In 1998 the crew transformed a 1976 Delta 88 into the Peanutmobile. A car covered in actual peanuts.  The down side of creating an organic work of art is the rot factor.  Rats eat the car, dogs eat the car and even kids eat the car.  This spring (2000) the Delta 88 was transformed into the TIE ROD.  Over 1400 donated men’s neckties were attached to the auto.
