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.
Professor Cohen is a founding member of the artists’ group Retrogarde, exhibiting her work at The Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, La Mama’s La Galleria, and the Terry Schreiber Studio Gallery.
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 reflects her interests in food, the medical and memory.
She was the moderator of a panel discussion of In the Realms of the Unreal, a film on the life of “outsider artist” Henry Darger, hosted by The Philoctetes Center in conjunction with The Film Forum, at The New York Psychoanalytic Institute.
