SUE JEAN COVACEVICH BOYS
Russian Sunflowers
Oil on canvas, 1988
Sue Jean Covacevich Boys was born in Wellington, and attended Bethany College, where she studied with Birger Sandzen. She also holds art degrees from Southwestern College in Winfield, where she resides, and Colorado State University.
Always a great traveler, she spent 12 years living in Mexico, where Diego Rivera influenced her greatly.
Back in Kansas, she taught primary, secondary and college-level art for 43 years. She established the Art Department at Southwestern College in 1945, and she was active in the organization of the Winfield Art Center in 1952. The art therapy classes which she established at the Winfield State Hospital and Training Center were among the first in the state. In 1988 she was awarded an honorary doctor of arts degree from Southwestern College.
Her work encompasses a vast array of media, including a historical mural of Cowley County located in the First National Bank building in Winfield, Kansas.
Through her art, she has been stirred to express a love of Kansas landscape in both gently realistic and boldly expressionistic styles, heightening the impact of her surroundings by means of vivid color and expressive line.
