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.
