Meet Our Team

Oogie Art Academy

We are skilled artists and professionals dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support to help you achieve success in college admissions and scholarships. At Oogie Art, we combine the strengths of Asian and American/European art education, history, and culture through a balanced 50/50 approach. This method bridges traditional techniques with contemporary perspectives and ensures close collaboration between students and instructors through a hybrid learning model—offering both in-person studio classes and live online instruction. By integrating high-quality digital resources with hands-on teaching, we create a dynamic and modern educational environment that prepares students for success in today’s global art world.

Art Gallery: Wook + Lattuada Gallery & Oogie Art Project Gallery

Ms. Choi, founder of Oogie Art and art dealer at Wook + Lattuada Gallery, brings her gallery experience into the classroom. Through her partnership with Lattuada Gallery in Milan, Italy, Ms. Choi stays at the forefront of contemporary art trends. By connecting students with professional artists and exhibitions, she provides them with real-world opportunities that enrich their education. The Oogie Art Project Gallery also organizes group shows, charity events, and fundraising exhibitions, further expanding opportunities for students to engage with the art world. These experiences not only broaden students' artistic perspectives but also help them build valuable connections in the art industry, shaping their future careers.
