Many contemporary painters keep a sketchbook filled only with abstract painting. It’s a great low-stakes way to practice combining colors, making marks, layering, designing forms, and trying out new tools. Over time this discipline results in an ease and confidence in paint application which seamlessly translates to larger more formal works on paper or canvas. An additional benefit is the sense of accomplishment you feel when your journal starts to fill and you have a lovely little book-object filled with paintings.

Born in Chicago in 1961, Zoë Cohen was strongly affected by the classic graphic influences of a mid-century urban environment. Everyday exposure to modern architecture, photography, painting, sculpture and minimalist 1960’s design made a deep impression. Zoë’s abstract painting springs from her lifelong fascination with mid-century modern art and design, Abstract Expressionism and The New York School painters. She continues to be inspired by contemporary artists of all kinds. History, art history, social history, illustration, literature, theater, music, dance, photography, and film all inform her work.
What students are saying about Zoë:
“The Studio Time class assisted with a more deliberate abstract practice and kept me on point to keep painting.” – R.S., Georgia, USA
