American artist Cathleen Cohen
An interest in poetry and painting has come together for me with the making of artist's books in small editions. It is a challenge to match printing and painting techniques with the text and tone of each poem. I aim to find a balance between word and image, giving fair weight to each. Ideally the combination of the two enhances both the pictures and poems.
