Born in Armenia on May 9, 1877.  In 1888 Pushman began art studies at the Imperial School of Fine Arts in Constantinople.  He immigrated to the U.S. about 1894 and settled in Chicago where he further studied at the AIC.  About 1910 he traveled to Paris where he was a pupil of Lefebvre, Robert-Fleury, and Dechenaud at Académie Julian.
