Boger, an assistant professor, holds an MFA from Ohio University, and a BFA from Miami University. She was an Evelyn Shapiro Foundation Fellow at the Clay Studio, and an emerging artist in 2003 at NCECA. Her work and methods are showcased in The Figure in Clay: Contemporary Sculpting Techniques by American Masters published by Lark Books. She has been a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation and the International Ceramic Research Center in Denmark. Her gilded figures, sporting decals, clearly belong to the elegant European figurine tradition but the large scale of her figures subverts the idea that they belong in a domestic setting. The incorporation of props from contemporary life, also connects them to the surrealist tradition which so strongly influences American ceramic art. Boger was selected as one of four distinguished experts in American crafts and decorative arts for the Renwick Craft Invitational of 2009.
