born in 1850 in Manchester, New Hampshire, although he lived most of
his life in Boston and Marblehead, Massachusetts. He studied at
the Lowell Institute, with Tommaso Juglaris, S. P. Rolt Triscott, and
Marcus Waterman.
Bixbee is known to have painted in oil, watercolor, and pastel, but he
was more comfortable and proficient with watercolors. Starting
