Retro Cat NFTs, Korean inspirations with artist Stephanie Ishler

How Korean Art and Entertainment Served as the Inspiration to Create Retro Cat NFTs, with artist Stephanie Ishler

Hey all! My name is Stephanie Ishler. I am a self-taught American artist and internet personality.Born and raised in small town Pennsylvania, I spent over 6 years in South Korea. Additionally, I also spent a lot of time traveling around the world. While I was always a creative person, I began painting in 2010 when I was living in South Korea as a form of art therapy. My childhood and my experiences living and traveling around the world are equally important in shaping my art. I co-founded the YouTube channel 'Hallyu Back', and recently just launched my own randomized NFT collection with utility called 'Retro Cats'.I am currently based in Florida.  There I live with my husband and two cats who frequently appear as subjects in my paintings, and inspired my NFTs.
