Feature Artist Bio
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Marc Bohne (born 1955 in Ft. Bliss, El Paso, Texas).
Marc 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.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
"I treat my landscapes more like portraits than snapshots of a place. Portraits contain both subject and observer, and good portraits show some evidence of that intimacy. The places that interest me already seem to contain some piece of me, and I feel compelled to explore that resonance. I revisit them many times in my mind before I commit them to a painting. For this reason I could never be a plein-air painter. We all see the world through the colored glass of our particular experience and it is important for me to process my perceptions, which often need time to form."
