WATCH: Wanda Koop speaks about her cathartic new body of work FACE TIME
In the video, Wanda Koop explains the inspiration behind her newest body of work FACE TIME and explains why she has paired her new portraits with luminous landscape or drip paintings. Also - get a sneak peek at the opening reception.
