Koop received her MFA in 1969 from Indiana University, where she studied with renowned ceramicist Karl Martz. This striking ceramic form, created towards the end of her studies, is non-functional, melding aspects of sculpture and pottery. Throughout her career, the natural world, especially cactus forms, provided inspiration for her work.
