With a strong understanding of space and refined formal sensibility, she works across painting, installation, and other media. Based between Korea and the United States, she has expanded her artistic practice through exhibitions in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and beyond. She currently serves as Secretary General of the 16th New York Korean Artists Association.
Her representative work Pietà is part of the collection of Sangok-dong Catholic Church in the Incheon Diocese, while her Stations of the Cross (14-part series) is permanently installed in the chapel of Gohan Catholic Church in the Wonju Diocese, demonstrating the intersection of faith and art. In 2024, Woo was awarded the Grand Prize at the 27th Catholic Art Awards, organized by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea, recognizing both his artistic excellence and spiritual depth.
