Bio
She was born in Seoul, Korea in 1959. She studied vocal music and received a Master's degree in music in 1991. She became a very accomplished classical soprano and performed throughout Korea, Canada and the U.S.A. During a tour of the United States she was the solo artist for a standing room only performance at Carnegie Hall in 1993. She has appeared numerous times on radio and tv in Korea and the Korean Buddhist television network in NYC. Her voice has been captured on a number of CD's in Korea and she arranged, produced and performed on her first U.S. CD titled 'Seoul Girl' in 1998. In her follow up CD in 2005, titled 'Mantra', Ms. Cho arranged ancient Buddhist mantras to music and created the first album of it's kind.
In 1993, after her last concert tour of the U.S., she decided to take residence in Boston, Ma. In a chance meeting with artist Barbara Donnelly, she decided to take some private lessons in water color. It didn't take long for her to realize that her true passion was painting. She continued her classes at Montserrat College and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Mass Art, in Boston. For the most part, she is a self taught artist who puts her heart and soul into her painting
Currently she spends most of her time painting in Boston and the south of France.
