Crafting Art and Language from Italian Inspirations

Embracing influences from the sea, nature, and the world of art and design, my creations reflect a blend of inspirations. Hailing from the sugar white shores of Florida, I embarked on a journey to Italy to chase a dream.

Meet Stephanie Miles, a siren of creativity, language, and adventure, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Southern Italy near the Amalfi Coast. As an American artist, Stephanie crafts jewelry inspired by the sea, nature, and influences of Italian culture and European art.

Completing a BFA in Metals & Jewelry Design from the Savannah College of Art & Design and an MFA in Media Design from Full Sail University, Stephanie's creative academic journey extends beyond borders. She has continued to immerse herself in the artistic tapestry of Italy through design courses at the Accademia Italiana in Rome, apprenticing with a Sicilian master engraver in Catania, and attending workshops to learn other local design traditions, adding extra layers of inspiration to her work.

But Stephanie's story doesn't stop in the studio. For several years, she immersed herself in the hospitality industry while in America and carried it over to Italy's rich tourism culture. As a seasoned tour manager, she orchestrated private tours in Rome, Florence, Pompeii, Sicily, and curated unique experiences around the Amalfi Coast. It's this fusion of artistry, tourism, and a sense of adventure that sets Stephanie apart, bringing a unique perspective to her creations.

When she's not creating her next masterpiece, Stephanie wears the hat of an English language educator, imparting linguistic nuances to Italian students at the University of Salerno and teaching private lessons online to students around the world.

Join Stephanie on this multifaceted journey where art, language, and culture intertwine. She not only creates jewelry; she crafts experiences, inviting you to explore the magic of Italy through her eyes.
