ICB Artist Claudia Cohen has been creating since early years. After studies at the Corcoran School of Art and George Washington University, Washington, DC she obtained her bachelors of art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in conjunction with Tufts University. At the time and for many years her focus was in sculpture. Now it’s figurative and narrative painting, with the help of studies with COM’s reverend teacher Chester Arnold. Her creations are multilayered and reflect her life and inspirations. Renaissance portraiture also underpins her work.Claudia takes her audience on a narrative journey filled with interpretative reflections and fantasies. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the US and internationally. She has received numerous grants and awards, including the George Sugarman Foundation, and several Marin Arts Council Grants. In 2023, her painting Nevermore was part of the De Young Open.
