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, painting only as a serious pastime.

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, Montana, California, and Washington.
