J. MARCUS BOHNE
Artist Bio
Marc Bohne was born in 1955, in El Paso, Texas. He lived in West Texas until he left for Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri, where he received his BFA in painting in 1977.
From the late 1970s until the mid-1990s, Marc changed careers several times, from resort administration to wilderness rescue to medicine, and finally, to design-build carpentry. His artwork remained a serious pastime.
"I tried a lot of things, trying to find my path. I thought painting was too self- centered, and I should work on something that was bigger and of more use to humanity. I couldn't give myself permission to just paint. In the end I learned that there is no greater thing I can do but be true to myself, and give the world my best, whatever that may be."
In 1994 Marc rented studio space in his present studio building in Seattle, Washington. He has been painting professionally ever since, and is often called a painter's painter by other artists. Marc's landscapes are represented in prominent collections from Paris to Los Angeles, and in fine galleries in New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, New York, California, and Washington.
