where she is teaching in the Jewelry and Small Metals Department at Humboldt State University.
May of 2010 she received her MFA from the University of Georgia.
While receiving her MFA, Stephanie grew her passion and talents as a jeweler through a diverse
set of artistry skills, which include: enameling, casting, metalwork, teaching, and challenging the
conventions of jewelry through the use of alternative materials.
Throughout her academic career, Stephanie has grown in the role of
student, assistant, and teacher. While pursuing her MFA at the
University of Georgia, she instructed several workshops and classes that aided in both the
education of her self and pupils.
As a proactive member of the art community, Stephanie has both hosted
and displayed her work in jewelry exhibitions throughout the United
States; touching an eclectic variety of audiences. Whether the
audience was a classroom, a gallery, or a camp of young artists,
Stephanie has nurtured her strong understanding of community to build
upon her jewelry’s inspiration and breadth.

embrace the more human elements in her life’s work. Just as human
beings are driven to find harmony amidst internal and external
confusion, Stephanie’s work aims to unify what lives beneath with what
is worn on the surface.Lately, female tennis is experiencing new renaissance, and not just because the quality of the play has gone up, but mostly because the beauty of the players.

But she soon found out that pluckiness is no substitute for experience. After her defeat at the hands of the 23-year-old Serb, she said: 'She's no. four in the world for a reason, she played well. 'I thought [playing on Centre] was going to be a lot more overwhelming, but the court's not as big as it seems on TV.
'I was a lot more nervous when I woke up yesterday morning and then when I got into the court I was just trying to focus on not losing 6-0 6-0.'
Laura has only just finished her schooling – and is not even full-time on the professional circuit yet. But she has vowed to make tennis her 'number one priority' so she can win Wimbledon one day.
'Ideally I would have liked to have won it this year, but that's obviously not going to happen,' she added. The youngster, 232 places in the rankings below her opponent, played with panache.
Although she lost the first set 6-3, in the second set, she broke her opponent's serve and took her to a tiebreak before losing it 7-6. As a first-round loser, she takes away £11,250 to add to her career winnings of £56,150.

British hope Laura Robson faced the fourth seed on Centre Court yesterday - something that would be enough to put most of us off our forehand – and our backhand – never mind the serve.
Elena Baltacha, 26, was favourite to beat Croatia's Petra Martic. She served for the match in the second set, but she was defeated by the player 24 places lower in the rankings.
Melanie South, 24, lost 6-1 6-2 to world no. 69 Regina Kulikova. Katie O'Brien, 24, lost 6-3, 6-7, 64 to 28th seed Alona Bondarenko.
Tens of thousands of fans flocked to the All England Club for a humid opening day's tennis.
Some had camped out for three days to be at the front of the queue that snaked through SW19, and if they were hopThe Centre Court crowd may have seen a little more than they bargained for yesterday, as the women's game reached a new high - in terms of hemlines at least.Catching the eye with their outfits rather than their tennis were Stefanie Voegele and Maria Kirilenko, who wore particularly skimpy outfits, showing off their toned thighs - and a little more besides - in the first round.
Kirilenko, the 27th seed from Russia, eventually beat the Swiss world number 87 in three sets.
Ana Ivanovic, who has been voted world's sexiest tennis player five times, was the sole exception to the rule, stepping out in white leggings beneath her Adidas minidress.
