I paint seascapes that evoke human emotions. Just as in this Poem by Rabindranath Tagore [1861-1941] who is considered the greatest writer in modern Indian literature. The kiss in the clouds is used as a metaphor for the search for love. After a love lost a new love is found, deeper for the storms the heart has been through in the past. This is a complicated love after decades of a life fully lived.

"The Kiss" ~ by Rabindranath Tagore

Lips' language to lips' ears.
Two drinking each other's heart, it seems.
Two roving loves who have left home,
pilgrims to the confluence of lips.
Two waves rise by the law of love
to break and die on two sets of lips.
Two wild desires craving each other
meet at last at the body's limits.
Love's writing a song in dainty letters,
layers of kiss-calligraphy on lips.
Plucking flowers from two sets of lips
perhaps to thread them into a chain later.
This sweet union of lips
is the red marriage-bed of a pair of smiles.

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.
