Marlene Mandelartz Cohen

My interest to photography goes back to 1976 when living in Paris/France. Life in the French capital and setting up my own darkroom gave me the opportunity to develop my creativity.

I rediscovered my interest and passion for photography in 2014 going through the process of learning and adapting to the digital environment. Membership in the Sequoia Art Group and the Peninsula Camera Club gave me the opportunity to bring my art into our communities.

I am greatly influenced by the Duesseldorfer Photoschule created by Hilla and Bernd Becher, “ Die Neue Deutsche Objektivitaet”.

I feel passionate about illustrating and showing the beauty and conditions that surround us. I currently exhibit my work throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as well as on Social Network.

Marlene has been recognized globally for her award-winning photographs.
