Born in Singapore in 1962, Goh Ee Choo graduated from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1985. In 1988, together with two contemporary artists, he exhibited his creations at "Trimurti", the multi-media arts exhibition. He was awarded a British Council Scholarship in the same year to study at the Slade School of Fine Arts, University College, London, which he later obtained his Master Degree in Fine Arts in 1990.

Goh has participated in several open and group exhibitions in Singapore, Australia and France (Paris). He was also a delegate at the First Asean Youth Painting Workshop held in Bangkok in 1983.

He has won a number of awards, including the Tan Tsze Chor Art Award for Young Artists in 1984, the Commendation Awards at the Painting of the Year Competition in 1982 and 1985, and a Consolation Prize in the PSA Artist Encouragement Scheme.

As he studied Chinese painting (resonance or energy) and western arts while he was in France and England, his earlier works were deeply influenced by Taoism and western philosophical ideas. He was later deeply involved in Buddhism (Kalachakra Mandala), which has become the root of creation for his art works.
