Artist Spotlight: Stephanie Kao of Studio Aoko
Conceptual soft-gel nail art from the Philadelphia and NYC creative seen in InStyle and Vogue.
Stephanie Kao is the Philadelphia and NYC-based creative behind Studio Aoko, known for conceptual soft-gel nail art that has appeared in InStyle and Vogue.
Studio Aoko treats each set as a concept first, then builds it in soft gel. The result sits comfortably between fashion editorial and fine art, which is why Stephanie’s work was a natural fit for ACRYLICS: Hidden Sculptural Art at A.I.R. Gallery.
Her studio is one of the small businesses ACRYLICS was built to serve: an independent artist with a clear point of view and an audience that follows it.
