Scooch on over Audrey K, let's make some room for Stella. Stella Im Hultberg is a painter who's currently living and working in Brooklyn, NYC. She was born in South Korea, raised in Seoul, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and later in California, where she studied Industrial Design and worked as a product designer before serendipitously finding a career in painting and drawing.
