In 1993 Koo returned to New England. She settled in a
small town in southern New Hampshire and established a studio where she now
pursues, full time, the study and creation of egg tempera paintings and
silverpoint drawings. Her inspiration derives from the natural world, and
from the works of the Old Masters - particularly the diptychs and triptychs
of the Northern and Italian Renaissance. She is a board member of The
Society of Tempera Painters; writes and lectures on egg tempera painting and
Old Master design; and teaches tempera, gesso, and design workshops around
the country. She has received 7 awards from the Copley Society including
most recently, the Robert and Mary Schroeder Award for Portraiture. She has
been featured frequently and has won an award from The Artist’s Magazine.
American Art Collector featured Koo in December 2006 and October 2005. Her
paintings and drawings are in more than 400 private, corporate, and museum
collections nationwide.
