Seal Pup Totem
12 x 10 x 10 cm
Irish Beach Pebbles, gold gilt and resin

Inspired by the quiet presence of seal pups resting on shoreline rocks — a sight recalled from a visit to Catalina Island and often glimpsed on the beaches of Deal.
The smooth, rounded pebbles rise in a gentle vertical stack, their curves evoking the form of a young seal poised on sun-warmed stones.
Once simple sea-washed pebbles, they are now transformed by layers of golden and rose-gold gilt, bringing a soft glow to the piece, while the deep green resin base recalls the cool tidal shallows.Inspired by the quiet presence of seal pups resting on shoreline rocks — a sight the artist first recalls from a visit to Catalina Island and often glimpses again on the beaches of Deal.

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.
