inspiration from the ocean

July 09, 2009 | Words By: Stefni

stefni-mullerI would like to see myself as a traveling artist/jeweler and my goal is to be able to create anywhere in the world with and on any medium available.

When I am not creating I find inspiration surfing, cycling, paddling, walking, talking, chilling, laughing, observing – every day is an art work waiting to happen. I hope that those who stumble upon my work will be encouraged, brave and bold enough to find and follow that which make them come alive.
