Biography
Marc Bohne was born 1955 in El Paso, Texas. He lived in West Texas until he left for college where he received his BFA in painting in 1977 from Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri.
After being a relatively accomplished and award winning student, Marc's art production thinned after college as other interests crept in and making a living took precedent. From the late seventies until the mid 1990s he changed careers several times from resort administration and wilderness rescue to medicine, and finally, to design-build carpentry, doing artwork only as a serious pastime.
In 1994 Marc rented studio space in his present studio building in Seattle, Washington, after deciding to be serious with this lifelong interest, and has since been painting professionally. Marc's landscapes are now in collections from Paris to Los Angeles, with some of America's more prominent citizens on his collector list, and he is represented by fine galleries in New Mexico, California, and Washington.
Marc currently lives in Massachusetts.
