Lee Bomhoff is a regionally recognized pastel artist primarily known for his protrayal of the human anatomy. His work is included in hundreds of private and public collections throughout the nation.

Burton Lee Bomhoff was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1958. His formal art training began at the Pratt Institute in New York. He received a B.F.A. from the Atlanta College of Art in 1986, followed by a summer of study in Cortona, Italy. He was a staff member at the Vermont Studio School in 1988. A year later, he had the first of six solo shows at the Anthony Ardavin Gallery in Atlanta.

"My philosophy of painting is that I want to draw the viewer into a different world. A dreamlike space where the real world’s limitations don’t exist," says Bomhoff. "I play a lot with light, because of its poetic possibilities. I enjoy working with the figure because of its powerful meaning to all of us."

Some of the honors received by Bomhoff are a purchase award from the Huntsville Museum of Art, and Best of Show award presented in 1995 by Michael Shapiro of the High Museum of Art at the Quinlan Art Center Member’s Show. Bomhoff was reviewed in 1996 in Art Paper’s Magazine, where his work was called "visions of beauty, of humanity, and earth in all their splendor." Lee Bomhoff died in December, 1997 leaving a legacy of his work for all to remember.
