Elizabeth Cohen
I create mixed-media abstract art driven by the pure joy of pushing paint around and making marks.
Each piece evolves through layering, with no plan, and driven by happy accidents and intuitive exploration.
The process itself is more important to me than the finished work—it’s a playful, open-ended journey that allows me to experiment with texture, colour, and structure without limits. I think my super power would be risk!
What is most fascinating is how simple marks, shapes and colours can hold emotional weight, and I enjoy the surprises in the unexpected connections that emerge as I work.
My art is an invitation to engage with the playful and the abstract and to experience the process of creation in the art.
Each piece encourages the viewer to find their own interpretation, to immerse themselves in the freedom of the marks and shapes and tap into their own inner being!
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time”. Thomas Merton
