Sue Jean Covacevich
Sue Jean Covacevich, born Sue Jean Hill (February 15, 1905 – May 14, 1998) also called Sue Jean Covacevich Boys, was a pioneer Kansas, United States artist. Her vivid art in painting, prints, murals, and stained glass celebrates the Kansas landscape, and was enriched by her 1932- 1943/5 residency in Mexico, as well as extensive international travels. Teaching art at the primary, secondary, and college level for 43 years, plus establishing the Winfield Art Center and art therapy at the Winfield State Hospital and Training Center led to her award of an honorary doctor of arts degree from Southwestern (Kansas) College.[2][3][4]
