In 1969, she became the director of Galeria de Arte Misrachi in Mexico City, where she met American artist Lucas Johnson. The two married in 1971 and moved to Houston, Texas in 1973. After closing the Covo de Iongh Gallery, Covo Johnson worked as the art critic for the Houston Chronicle from 1981 to 2008.
