ARA KOH idkohara.wixsite.com/araangelakoh @araangelakoh Ara Koh was born in Seoul, South Korea from a fashion designer mother and an industrial designer father. She received her B.F.A. in Ceramics and Glass from Hongik University, Seoul, South Korea in 2018, and an M.F.A. in Ceramic Art at New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2020. Her works are installations claiming space. The intensity of the labor and palliative obsessiveness manifested in her sculpture bring a fresh reveal to the ageless themes of body, architecture-shelter, and landscape. Her works have been exhibited in Korea and in the United States. Koh received numerous awards including the Minister of Foreign Affairs Honor by the Korean government. She teaches as an adjunct faculty at Maryland Institute College of Art, American University, and George Washington University. Ara Koh currently lives and works in the greater Washington, DC area.
