"Papaver"

In the ethereal pastel work titled "Papaver," the delicate beauty of a single orange poppy takes center stage. Its vibrant petals, tinged with a delicate white fringe, create a striking contrast against the soft, off-white background. At the heart of the poppy lies a radiant yellow center, reminiscent of a sunbeam captured within a flower's embrace.

A long, slender stem, covered in fine, green hair-like structures, extends from the base, providing both elegance and a tangible connection to the earth. This stem casts a gentle magenta shadow on the surrounding ivory canvas, highlighting the delicate interplay between light and shade.

The artwork evokes an overwhelming sense of fragility, as if the poppy were suspended in a moment of sheer vulnerability. Each petal appears as though it might be ruffled by the gentlest breeze, yet it stands with unwavering grace. "Papaver" serves as a testament to the fleeting, fragile nature of life's most exquisite moments, encapsulated within the quiet resilience of a solitary poppy.

Stephanie Fuller - Artist, Educator, and Innovative Designer

🎨 About Me:

Passionate about the intersection of art, education, and design, I am , an artist, educator, and innovative designer with a rich history in shaping creative landscapes. My journey began at prestigious art institutions, including the Wimbledon School of Art and the Bath Academy of Art, where I honed my skills in sculpture, painting and drawing.

🌟 Artistic Journey:

With a career spanning over three decades, I've cultivated a diverse artistic portfolio. As the former Gallery Manager at Stephanie Burns Fine Art, I curated exhibitions and fostered relationships with artists and collectors. This experience not only deepened my understanding of visual aesthetics but also allowed me to infuse creativity into retail spaces.

🎓 Educator at Heart:

My commitment to education led me to become an artist and educator, shaping young talents through Art Classes and Kids Art Club. I believe in nurturing creativity, emphasizing imagination over rules, much like my approach to art. As the Founder & Trustee of The Peter Fuller Memorial Foundation, I orchestrated lectures in collaboration with the Tate Gallery, showcasing a deep knowledge of art history and its impact on culture.

✨ Innovative Design:

In 2016, I ventured into the world of design, launching AqaYoga, a brand that seamlessly blends design and well-being. As the Owner and Designer, I demonstrated innovation and market positioning, infusing my artistic knowledge into bespoke fashion and home decor. This endeavor showcased my ability to think creatively and push boundaries.

🌏 Global Exploration:

Born into a world of exploration, with my father being a seasoned oilman with 71 strikes in his exploration career, I grew up traversing the globe. From working with geologists in Perth, WA, as a teenager to accompanying my father on trips worldwide, including the construction of a gas pipeline in Siberia, my experiences have shaped my global perspective.

🎨 Current Ventures:

Currently, I balance my roles as an Art Teacher, imparting the importance of seeing beyond conventional perspectives, and as an artist continuing to create diverse artworks. I am deeply invested in promoting self-care and wellness, evident in my daily sea swims and yoga practices.
