Robert Kennedy received his formal art training at the Rhode Island School of Design (1961) where he studied painting and illustration.
A native of Boston, Kennedy has gathered inspiration and experience traveling throughout the Caribbean, Florida, Mexico, and the South West with his sketchbook and watercolors. His crisp detailed pen & ink drawings provide an historical record characteristic of the waterfronts and neighborhoods, including a variety of popular pubs and personalities of some of the most colorful areas of America.

Over the years, Kennedy's meticulous and classic art, with his heartwarming flair, has increased in popularity worldwide. Today, he is considered to be one of the top selling graphic artists in America. (Screen Printing Magazine: May, 1983).

Three brothers, Ted, Joe and Pete, and three sisters, Kate, Sue and Pat, all play a part in the family enterprise. In addition to selling Kennedy's work, the clan operates a dozen studios and over 30 franchises from Key West, Florida to Kennebunkport, Maine.

Bob Kennedy's original works can be seen at Kennedy Gallery, Key West, and prints of his work are available at all Kennedy Studios.
