Koo Schadler was born and raised in Litchfield, Connecticut.
She graduated from Tufts University in 1984 with a BA in Art
History. After working at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts,
Koo traveled to Europe to explore old museums and to study
art. Eventually she settled in Florence, Italy where she studied
painting at Studio Art Centers International and with artist
Peter Foster. In 1986 she moved to California where she became
involved in a variety of creative endeavors: a three year
apprenticeship with master furniture maker Norman Petersen,
work as art director for a chain of natural food stores, and
painting studies at the College of Marin. It was under the
tutelage of Marin professor Chester Arnold that Koo was introduced
to egg tempera painting, a traditional medium made from powdered
pigments and egg yolk.
In 1988 Koo combined her painting, craft and commercial art
backgrounds to create a line of mixed media boxes, mirrors
and jewelry. Her work was featured at craft stores throughout
California and the Northeast.
In 1993 Koo returned to New England. She settled in a small
town in southern New Hampshire and established a studio where
she now pursues, full time, the study and creation of egg
tempera paintings. Her inspiration derives from the natural
world through which she frequently hikes, and the works of
the Old Masters - particularly the diptychs and triptychs
of the Northern and Italian Renaissance. She is a board member
of The Society of Tempera Painters, writes and lectures on
egg tempera painting, and teaches tempera and gesso making
workshops around the country. Her paintings are in more than
350 private, corporate, and museum collections nationwide.
