Early life and education

Eventually by the 1960s, architects started asking for larger sculptural works made of acrylic, and she started transitioning into the acrylic arts.[1][3] Koblick held her studio in the North Beach neighborhood at Battery Street and Clay Street.[2] In 1956, her work space burned down and she had a period of studio displacement.[2] However 1980, with the help of her friend Mariquita West she was able to purchase the 4,300-foot former Congregation B'nai David building in the Mission District and maintain the space as both an art studio and residence.[2]

For many years she taught her acrylic casting techniques at the Royal College of Art.[1] She received the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1970, in fine art.[4]
