As an artist based in Baltimore MD, Hannah Cohen creates intricate hand cut paper pieces evoking movement found in nature. Active in the local art scene since 2014, Hannah has work displayed in private residences as well as corporate locations in Washington, DC, Virginia and Maryland including The Hepburn, The Papermill building, GDIT, VY Reston Heights and Exelon Constellation Headquarters. With a passion for connecting with young learners and encouraging them to find their voices through art, Hannah earned her BFA and MAT from Maryland Institute College of Art, and has been teaching visual art in Baltimore City Public Schools for 9 years. 

Hand cutting paper expresses Hannah’s interest in pattern, movement, and the natural world. The dynamic and twisting cuts, as they expand and contract, represent the motion and energy found in currents of air and water. By controlling the shape and size, the static cuts speed up and slow down as they move within the boundaries of the paper...and, in some instances, escape completely.
