Marcia R. Cohen

b. May 1950 in Detroit, Michigan

Marcia R. Cohen, visual artist and educator, was awarded the MOCA GA Multiples Commission for 2007. Her paintings, works on paper, and photographs examine the interdisciplinary dimension of color, visual perception and decoding the illusive nature of color. She has exhibited and lectured on her work nationally and internationally. In 2002 she was awarded the KBFUS Cultural Fellowship for research on color in the Netherlands and Germany. Cohen was educated at Wayne State University in Detroit and at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Marcia Cohen taught at the Atlanta College of Art from 1975-2006 and is presently a Professor at Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta where she teaches color theory and painting. Cohen was a 2008/2009 Working Artist Project winner, and was featured in the corresponding solo exhibition Sight Specific in 2009.
