Julie Cohn

I’m excited to tell you about two series I’m working on. One is about the landscapes that emerge out of my subconscious with the flow of watercolor. My reverence for landscapes blossoms onto paper in a spontaneous way, and I work on small and large scale pieces that I call Spontaneous Landscapes. I am also enamored with rainforests, which have inspired me to look at the biodiversity within these ecosystems. By painting my Rainforest series, I am learning more about the treasures they hold, from plants to insects and animals to complete weather systems that effect our lives. I am getting a clear picture of why preserving them is essential to our well being. During Open Studios I share my studio/gallery with Sara Frucht whose art is very dynamic and colorful, and created on the computer in the form of video and still images.
