Sheree Hovsepian was born in 1974 in Isfahan, Iran.[6] In 1976, her family immigrated to the United States, when she was 2 years old and she was raised in Toledo, Ohio.[9] Hovsepian attended University of Toledo for her undergraduate degree, graduating in 1999.[3] Later she continued her studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), where she studied under the late Barbara DeGenevieve[5] and received her Master of Fine Arts degree in 2002.[10] She met her future husband, artist Rashid Johnson, while at SAIC.[2] Together they have one son.[11]

Hovsepian's work often is collage, featuring a photograph of the human body and mirroring geometric shapes and including other materials, such as found objects, fabric, paper, wood, and string.[5][12][13] Hovsepian cites artists Sophie Calle, Annette Messeger, Lorna Simpson and Ana Mendieta as influences.[5]
