“Climate” Oil Painting by Genie Appel-Cohen
Genie Appel-Cohen tells The Rickie Report, “There are many great artists, and many great teachers; but to be an art teacher, a good one, requires skills not taught in any school. There is no one more vulnerable or brave than a new art student. They come to me, full of hope and yearning, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Each person is precious. I need to learn just who they are, how best to teach them, and to support them completely, (every step of the way); on this wonderful journey, we call art. That for me, is a mission and the blessing of my life”. When you view some of the artworks by her students, you will see how this nurturing focus brings out the best in them! Due to the Pandemic, and at the urging of her students, Genie has created an unusually successful Zoom platform for artists in all 2 dimensional mediums.

Genie tells us, “Each painting is a story where the artist invites the viewer to become part of their inner world. My work is an invitation to engage you in a conversation. I use paint, or pencil to reveal hidden meaning; not just in my life, but in yours as well. I usually work in a series so I can explore one idea, but in different ways. My hope is that I can make a connection, and that you might say, “Oh yes, I see”, or, “Yes, I felt that, too.” This might be one small part of our mutual humanity; but for me, it is everything”.
