Susan E. Boehm was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin. Susan’s interest in depicting the human figure began – by chance – as a child looking through her Mother’s college art history textbook. Her interest in art – particularly in depicting the human figure – began the moment she saw Michelangelo’s sketches for the Sistine Chapel.
In 1996, Susan earned a Bachelor Arts Degree in fine art from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside – followed by a second degree concentration in graphic design and illustration. She furthered her studies by earning a Master of Fine Arts Degree with a concentration in drawing and painting from the San Francisco Academy of Art. Susan went on to train as an undergraduate educator while earning a Master of Art Education Degree with a concentration in adult learning disabilities from the San Francisco Academy of Art.
Susan has worked as a professional artist throughout her adult life. Her work has garnered multiple awards in regional, national and international shows and has been reproduced in multiple publications. Susan shows in galleries and museums year-round – while gratefully accepting clients and commissions as a member of Racine Business Center 16th Street Studios.
