Cohen has completed their minor in Studio Art, in addition to the credits required for an Art History minor. Drawing inspiration from children’s books, Sylvie Cohen juxtaposes playful imagery and taboo subject material to open dialogue surrounding “coming of age” and, more broadly, what it means to occupy one’s own mind and body.
