Throughout my career, I’ve had the great fortune to work on some truly inspiring projects, while meeting many influential and creative individuals along the way. I believe in working together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. For more information about my experience, portfolio, or how we can collaborate on an upcoming project, please reach out. Much of my growth has come from working with others.
As with any form of art that inspires me, there is an undercurrent of change that is both constant and fluid. I take ideas and inspiration from many other artists, fields of study, and life experiences in an effort to create something new and otherwise unseen before. This includes the artificial intelligence in the development of my work using Photoleap, primarily, to fuse ideas I then paint or draw. Film, photography, and music are also newer areas I am exploring both as art forms themselves as well as channels to share my work with the world. While art is my meditation, joy, and a channel for self-actualization, it is also inherently influenced by those I am lucky to have in my life and world around me.
Through social media and this site, I will periodically update promotional content and videos. Among the core influential forces in my life are inspiring individuals like Alexandre Daillance (a.k.a. MILLINSKY) @millinsky and technologist and Ai innovator, and Multi-On founder, Omar Shaya, @omarshaya. Both have inspired me to take leaps I otherwise would have never considered.
Additionally, Heidi Heilman, who is equal parts community leader and force of nature, is supporting my work with art galleries, museums, and other dedicated spaces for the arts. I am grateful to my people -- the partners, friends, and family (and “framily”) -- whose love and support unite my efforts with purpose and conviction. I believe it is a gift to be indebted to so many who nudge me and my work forward, time and again.
You need not buy my work to be a meaningful supporter. Sharing my site, liking posts, telling friends who love art about my work is how my business, and ability to do what I love most, grows. Thank you for visiting my site, and don't forget to follow me on Instagram @karlacohenart.
Almost all of the work seen here is for sale; either as an original piece or print. Originals start at $500 and prints at $50 USD.
Part of my favorite type of work is creating art for others and helping to bring to life ideas, memories, moments and translating them into images that connect to or with others. Commissions start at $1200 for paintings assuming a size 18" x 24" or larger (which is my preference). Sketches can be commissioned starting at $280 at 9 x 12" inches. Large scale pieces up to 10' start at $2000 USD. Payment plans and monthly financing are easy to structure -- most of my art can fit a reasonable budget, and the more I can put out in the world, the happier I am. Do not hesitate to ask!
Institutional projects are also a priority. I would be eager to collaborate on efforts to bring art to public spaces in the form of murals (for walls, playgrounds, highway underpasses, etc.). I have also painted furniture for auction in support of charities.
As I develop my style I am also interested in digital work, photography, blending and hybrid artwork. If interested in a collaborative effort, please email or text me to see if there is a fit and/or opportunity to work together to bring more art into the world together.
