Julie was born in Burlingame, California and has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area all of her life. At ten years old, she discovered her passion for
art. After sending Julie's two older siblings off to college, her mother, Barbara Cohn, took out her own dusty art materials and inspired Julie to paint.
Having extensive classical training in drawing and painting at U.C. Berkeley, where she received her Bachelor of Arts, and California College of the Arts, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Julie has painted subjects from observation for many years. In her most of her current work, she chooses to cull from her memory bank of images
to depict subliminal worlds that emerge abstractly, revealing her strong connection to nature and humanity. She paints in her beautiful art studio and gallery in Berkeley, CA. An art instructor, in her studio for over 35 years and at the College of Marin for 25 years, she enjoys helping others to find and develop their own creativity.
The paintings of Julie Cohn have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibits in the United States, including the Akron Museum, Ohio: the Redding Museum Redding, California; the Elizabeth S. Fine Museum, San Francisco, California; and Alta Bates Medical Center, Berkeley, California. Her artwork is included in many private collections, the Alemeda County Art Commission public collection, and is published in American Art Collector.
