here are times, rare
spaces in time, when a
man or a woman
reaches out of their comfort
zones to achieve a dream or a
goal: And in the turbulent
time that comes with their
change, they may never-

inner-peace that others, who
have settled for what they
have, can't possibly
understand.
Avraham Cohen knows
about that change and that
turbulence. But now, eight
years after he changed the
direction of his life, he also
knows about that inner-peace
and satisfaction.
Cohen and his wife, Sima-

science. Indeed, he already
had his master's degree in
microbiology, and had nearly
acquired a doctorate in
epidemiology from the Johns
Hopkins School of Hygiene
and Public Health, when he
traded in his microscope and
test tubes for a full-time set of
pens, paint, and the unknown
— all tools of a scribe and
graphic artist.
And now the 41-year-old ar-

works at the Renwick Gallery
of the National Museum of
American Art, Smithsonian
Institution, through Oct. 28
as part of an exhibition entitl-

Cohen says that the deci-
sion to switch from scientist
to artist was not an easy one.
"I never felt very creative in
science. Although I enjoyed
the technical aspects, I must
admit that I hated reading
the literature. And if the ex-
