Presented as Master Portrait Artist by the
Portrait Society of America and International Artist Magazine
 "There's
an Impressionistic romanticism about Jill Cohen's watercolor
and pastel portraits. Working from photographs that she takes
herself, Cohen paints subjects of all ages but has a particular
sensitivity toward children." —Susan
Davidson "WASHINGTONIAN MAGAZINE"
". . . as exquisite and charming a child's portrait as I have ever seen. It 's fresh, it's loose, it has a wonderful interplay of warm and cool colors all the way through it. The little girl has a beautiful sober look. . .It's just right. . .the very natural flow in the hair and everything about it." —John Howard Sanden Remarks on Little Coquette to National Portrait Seminar
"And in a class by itself is an engaging child's portrait
by Jill Cohen, no trickery but a memorable picture."
—Mary Swift WWAC NEWS, Review of
"Photography '81"
The pleasing simplicity and naturalness of Jill Cohen's portraits and the skill with which she uses color have been increasingly recognized and rewarded in the past few years . . . Cohen who shows sensitivity and
awareness in her use of color, and combines watercolor and pastel to create a beautiful variance of color intensity . . ." —Judy Goosh "THE POTOMAC ALMANAC"
"I am particularly enthusiastic about the two pastel entries by Jill Cohen. She has a wonderful understanding of the nuances of color and the portrayal of volume in a small format." —Ted Cooper, Adams Davidson Gallery in Judge's Statement
"Potomac is home to superlawyer and sports mogul Edward Bennett Williams, TIME Magazine's Hugh Sidey, columnist Jack Anderson, and artist Jill Cohen." —"WHO RUNS WASHINGTON?" Kilian and Sawislak
