Educator

Over a 41-year career, Wook has mentored thousands of students at her acclaimed studio, Oogie Art. She has also taught 'Color Theory' at the collegiate level. As the founder of one of the first portfolio prep schools in the US and Asia, she is recognized globally as a premier educator.

Wook developed the unique "50/50 teaching method," which bridges US and Asian educational approaches. This highly effective method has guided over 100 students to elite universities. Notable acceptances include Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and the Brown|RISD Dual Degree program.

Her profound impact on art education is widely celebrated. She has received official commendations from former First Lady Laura Bush, former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former SUNY President Richard P. Mills, and US Congressman Jerrold Nadler.

Art Dealer

Wook’s journey into the global art world began with founding Crecloo Art Gallery in New York in 2004, followed by co-founding Wook + Lattuada Gallery in Milan in 2007. Operating in a historic space carrying the legacy of the esteemed Fiorella La Lumia since 1963, Wook immersed herself in the rich heritage of 20th-century Italian modernism and contemporary art. Beyond curating and directing gallery exhibitions, Wook is actively engaged as a dealer and advisor in the secondary art market. This profound, hands-on experience across international art capitals continues to define her visionary approach to the art world.
