Stephanie Fuller is a British Australian artist whose paintings, sculpture and jewellery explore our enduring relationship with the natural world through ancient materials, expressive form and the memory held in landscapes and the sea.
Working across bronze, stone, resin, paint and found natural materials, her practice draws on archaeology, geology, art history and lived experience. Influences are rarely direct. Instead, ideas absorbed over years of looking at ancient cultures, museums and great sculptors gradually re-emerge in new forms, creating a body of work that is both contemporary and rooted in the past.
Since beginning her career in London in the 1980s, Stephanie has exhibited internationally in the UK, Australia and the United States. Her work is held in private and museum collections.
Today, from her gallery in Deal, Kent, she continues to develop new bodies of work while presenting sculpture, painting and jewellery as one connected artistic practice. Whether creating a monumental painting, a bronze figure or a piece of jewellery, her work asks the same question: how can materials carry memory and connect us to the long chain of human creativity?
Current Exhibition
Until 22November 2025
In Celestial Ancestors, Stephanie Fuller draws upon the quiet endurance of river stones — shaped by water, time, and chance into natural archives of the Earth’s story. Each sculpture is both grounded and celestial, composed like constellations of matter transformed by flow and touch.
Pebbles of flint, agate, jasper, and quartz become relics of deep time, arranged into rings, relics, and planetary spheres that echo ancient votive forms. Some shimmer with gilt like offerings to unseen gods; others remain bare, their surfaces carrying the memory of currents and mineral histories.
Fuller’s work transforms geology into gesture — balancing weight and delicacy, permanence and renewal. These forms speak of ancestry and migration, of what endures and what evolves. Celestial Ancestors invites us to see within these gathered stones a reflection of ourselves: shaped by time, moved by forces unseen, yet bound to the same elemental rhythm.
ABOUT STEPHANIE FULLER
Stephanie Fuller, a renowned dual-national artist, has honed her artistic prowess through dedicated study at prestigious institutions like Bath Academy, Norwich Life Room, and Wimbledon School of Art. Her formative years spent in the serene coastal landscapes of remote Western Australia forged a deep connection to the natural world, inspiring her to create art that champions environmental awareness and celebrates our profound bond with nature.
With an illustrious career spanning three decades, Stephanie's captivating work has graced exhibitions and private collections worldwide. However, the devastating Australian fires claimed one of her cherished large paintings, leaving a poignant mark on her artistic journey.
Before settling in Deal in 2019, Stephanie resided and painted in Mollymook, south of Sydney, where her art reflected the local beaches, whales, islands, and vineyards. As the pandemic swept the globe, her artistic expression evolved, blending abstraction and realism in a newfound post-abstract style.
As we embark on the vibrant Summer Collection, Stephanie's art marks a return to joyous times, capturing the essence of happiness and the beauty of nature. Her immersive creations beckon you to revel in the splendor of her evolving artistry, which weaves emotion, reality, and imagination into a mesmerizing tapestry of creativity. Witness the captivating transformation of her work, brimming with depth and brilliance, and embrace the timeless allure of Stephanie Fuller's artistry.
Sculpture
Between 1990 and 2005, I was primarily a sculptor working with materials such as plaster, ceramic, wax, bronze, and stainless steel. My early sculptures were figurative, and I was in a group tribute exhibition to the master castor Ken Cook who recently passed, at Pangolin Gallery in London in July 2022.
White Cliffs of Dover Wildflowers
While hiking the white cliffs at Kingsdown Leas, I stumbled upon a stunning white house surrounded by wildflowers. The scene was awe-inspiring, and I felt as though the air was enchanted, allowing me to fully embrace the beauty. It was only natural that I wanted to capture the scene and feeling in a painting.
Art Classes and Workshops
Alongside rotating exhibitions of her paintings, sculptures, and curated Modern Master prints, the space also supports a growing programme of art workshops, including her long-running Kids Art Club and one-on-one art sessions for adults with additional needs.
