Bücher von Ann Cohen

Live music artist. I have the passion of the pen to draw the moment. I started drawing music and people around the Bay Area in the late eighties. Thousands of local and well-known bands in around San Francisco, California, along the coast to British Columbia and over to Europe in Berlin, Paris and beyond have been caught by my pen. I take a moment to hear the music dance through me while the hand goes to the paper and logs the moment. Always on the hunt for the next draw in restaurant café or just where I am. My late husband, Allen Cohen, was a well-known poet and the editor, founder of the San Francisco Oracle. I illustrated two of Allen's books of poems: The Book of Hats and Like a Radiant White Dove both published by Regent Press. My work is in many private collections and has appeared in Beatitude Magazine, Relix Magazine and Split Shift and in various CD's of the musician's that I have drawn. I Draw the Line in the Night Feeling the taste of the moment Eyes on me and I use to close book And leave the room No More I sit and draw, I'm in our living room Enjoying you When a person is in a social environment that requires one to be very quiet, and if this person needs to be busy all the time, pen and paper is a best friend.

The author/artist writes: The first drawing published in this book was January 13, 2020. Life was filled with adventure. I draw nearly every day. I organize my drawings by calendar date and file in thick folders that I make. When the folder is full with about forty drawings, I start another. These drawings from January 13 until March 16, 2020 are an accurate log created with pen, paint, papers, and musings of my life in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.
