About The Artist
Christina Cohen was born in Dublin, Ireland and raised in the Bronx. She attended the High School of Art & Design and SUNY New Paltz where she received her degree in Art Education. Watercolor is her medium of choice where she recognized her passion for mixing and overlapping translucent colors. According to Christina, “when pigments mix with water and I apply my brush on rag paper, it’s magic. I create a moment in time.” She lives in Greenville, South Carolina, where she relishes in the four seasons and her love of nature. To Christina, all seasons have an endless beauty ready to capture on paper.
Artist Statement
Magic for me are pigments mixed with water and applied by brush on rag paper to create a moment in time. Overlapping translucent colors can show the value gradients of coolness and warmth in a landscape. Watercolor painting enables me to capture this emotion. I can show the ethereal light or the dense darkness in my work with subjects that enables me to enjoy working outdoors. All seasons have an endless beauty ready to capture on paper. Portraits of individuals and animals provides great joy when I’m able to grasp their personalities. I hope to share this emotion within my scope of work.
