MEDIUM

Mixed Media

ARTIST STATEMENT

“I dream in layers. They connect the history of my soul and keep me coming back for more.”

ARTIST BIO

Kate Cohen draws from the traditions of Surrealism and Folk Art to craft riveting personal icons that record her life experiences in resonant symbols. She seduces the viewer by revealing her creative process and thus taps into the collective unconscious, where symbols are transformed from autobiographical details to universal truths. A gifted painter as well as a talented sculptor, Cohen combines both media in objects that demand viewer interaction.

Cohen’s work is included in The American Crafts Council, NY, The Columbus Museum of Art, OH, and the Festival of Arts, CA Permanent Collections. She is widely collected in the U.S., Mexico, and Israel.
