Freddie Jen Cohen (b. 1983) is a Canadian‑American multidisciplinary artist living and working in the forest near Alger, Washington. Drawing from a history of existential wandering in urban life and a subsequent return to the natural world, Cohen creates multidisciplinary works that examine the interplay between intuition, neurosis, the occult, ego-death and mending ruptures.

Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Cohen moved to Los Angeles at seventeen to pursue undergraduate studies in art. Her early work focused primarily on poetry and performative photography. Immediately after her BA in Studio Art she attended the Graduate Art Program at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, where her practice expanded to include video art, performance, and immersive sculptural installations. Upon completing her MFA in 2008 she destroyed much of her work, abandoned her art practice, and lived on the fringe of society for several years. 

Cohen calls this her period of experiential research. For over a decade she barely had fits and starts of art projects. Increasingly weary of life and the sunshine in Los Angeles, she ran away to the forest in 2016. This marked a pivotal shift in Cohen's life which slowly, ultimately led her back to her art practice.  

A day in her life often includes daily devotion to reading, tarot cards, meditative paintings, and witnessing the natural world about her. Cohen’s current practice is deeply informed by her environment and quiet life. Her work explores the artifice and the authentic in modern existence, and utilizes a diverse material palette, ranging from concrete, bare plaster and flower inks to synthetic silicone and fluorescent pigments.
