In 2016, Wook published the second book, ‘Art College Admissions II’, interviewing with 40 schools in the USA, Europe and Asia which included questions answered by department chairs, admissions officers, faculty & staff about any exciting program developments, famous alumni, and advice on the importance of studying art & design today.

Educator

During her 36-year teaching career, Wook has been teaching art to thousands of students, ranging from children to college prep students at her own art studio and online called Oogie Art and taught ‘Color Theory’ at a college too.

She founded one of the first art portfolio preparation studio schools in the USA and Asia, earning a longstanding reputation as one of the world's most prestigious. Over 100 of her students have been accepted into Ivy League universities, including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and the Brown+RISD program.

Her take on art education stems from combining her experiences in both the US and Asia, calling it the 50/50 teaching method which has proven to be the most effective approach for her students.

She has received recognition letters and certificates from Laura Bush, former First Lady; Michael Bloomberg, former Mayor of NYC; Richard P. Mills, President of SUNY (State University of New York); and Jerrold Nadler, a US Congress Member.

Art Dealer /Galleriest

Initiating Crecloo Art Gallery in New York in 2004 and later collaborating with Flavio Lattuada to establish Wook + Lattuada Gallery in Milan in 2007, the journey into the art world has been a profound learning experience. Located in a space that carries the legacy of the esteemed Fiorella La Lumia since 1963, the gallery embraces a focus on contemporary art, with a respectful nod to the heritage of the Futurist movement and Italian modern art of the 20th century.

The gallery endeavors to showcase a diverse range of contemporary artworks, from minimalism to expansive installations and media pieces, highlighting the richness of artistic expression in the modern era.

A notable effort has been the nurturing of the Rigorismo movement, drawing inspiration from historical Italian and German movements to carve out new artistic pathways while paying homage to the past.
