Hannah Cohen is a scientific illustrator based in CO.

Executed entirely in traditional media, Cohen’s scientific illustrations prioritize precision, accuracy, and beauty. Much of their work depicts Colorado-specific subjects, reflecting their connection with the ecology of their home state. Their more personal work is also heavily biological, but trends more toward soft realism, with surreal and symbolic elements. To draw something is to know it intimately, and to know something is to love it. Ultimately, Cohen’s greatest aspiration is to create work that invites viewers into that familiarity.

Hannah Cohen’s work has been published in UCLA’s Journal of Environmental Law. They currently teach courses on anatomy for artists through the Lyme Art Association. They were the illustrator for Osprey Games’ 2026 release Upland & Prairie, a strategy game about rewilding human-impacted biomes.

Cohen holds a certificate in scientific illustration from Yale’s Peabody Museum. Having graduated from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a degree in photojournalism, Cohen also applies the skills developed throughout this education - namely, the ability to convey narrative and information through visual imagery - to their artistic practice.

Hannah Cohen is presently available and excited to work with any scientists, educators, academics, and other professionals seeking illustrations to accompany journal articles, write-ups, exhibits, educational materials, and other projects of any kind.
