Degrees
B.F.A., Tyler School of Art
M.F.A., Maryland Institute College of Art
Hallie Cohen received her M.F.A. from the Hoffberger School of Painting of the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she studied with the painter Grace Hartigan and received the Henry Walters Traveling Fellowship. She received her B.F.A from the Tyler School of Art where she majored in painting and drawing and minored in printmaking. She has been at Marymount Manhattan since 1974 where she has taught drawing, figure drawing, painting, design, watercolor and art history to two generations of art and non-art majors. As curator of thePhiloctetes Center for the Multidisciplinary Study of Imagination, Cohen recently organized an exhibition, With or Without Permission: Appropriation, Assemblage and Collage, that explored “the art of collecting, sorting, and arranging the ephemera and detritus of life to connect the imaginative and the real.” She paints in watercolor, creates sculptures and three-dimensional installations and illustrates writer Francis Levy’s short stories and humor. Her current work in watercolor uses the concept of appropriation and collage to create a series of new works based on revisiting and reconfiguring her older work through digital scanning and repainting. Professor Cohen is a founding member of the artists’ group Retrogarde, exhibiting her work at Westbeth Gallery, The Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, La Mama’s La Galleria, A.I.R. Gallery and the Terry Schreiber Studio Gallery.
