Dohn was born in Chicago in 1865.[2] She studied art at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts[3] and then at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia where she studied with Thomas Eakins and Thomas Anschutz.[4] This was followed by a move to Paris where she enrolled in the Académie Julian and studied with Boulanger and Lefebvre.[5][6]
