Sandy Cohen: The Artist

 

Born in Israel and raised in New York City, Sandy Cohen is an internationally acclaimed artist whose work is as thought-provoking as it is emotionally charged. 

Her style and ability to evoke raw emotion has made her a favorite among elite collectors. Sandy's work is showcased in international galleries and held in the private collections of the Royal Families of Morocco and Qatar. Her works are collected by celebrities and renowned figures like the Stern family of NYU's School of Business. 

Just a few short years after launching her career, Sandy Cohen’s works have skyrocketed in value—appreciating over 2,000%—while her brand has become a household name in the Hamptons and synonymous with high-end luxury and collectible art.

 

FAME! I’m Gonna Live Forever!

 

Sandy Cohen recently unveiled FAME by Sandy Cohen Art, a powerful line of wearable art created in loving memory of her sister, Fame Cohen. More than a sibling, Fame was Sandy’s guiding light and greatest source of strength during her darkest chapters. Today, she lives on as Sandy’s eternal muse. Each piece in the collection embodies Fame’s spirit—bold, beautiful, and unforgettable—transforming personal loss into a vibrant legacy of love and creativity.

 

The Journey 

 

Sandy Cohen is a self-taught prodigy. At just eight years old, she broke boundaries as the only child accepted into an adults-only art program at New York City’s prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art. Before starting highschool, she was granted admission to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).

At 19, Cohen was discovered by legendary pop artist Peter Max, who instantly recognized her unique voice and raw artistic power. Her career was on a meteoric rise when life took an unexpected turn. That same year, Cohen became severely disabled with a devastating neurological condition due to adverse reactions to antibiotics—an event that would keep her bed ridden and dependent on a wheelchair, as well as put her life and artistic journey on hold for nearly two decades.

Defying all odds she re-emerged back onto the art scene in 2017, after years of fighting for her health and her dream. She hopes to inspire others through her personal journey and her works of art- to never give up!
