White CliffsOil on canvas50 x 75 cm My painting ‘White Cliffs’ captures the essence of longing and nostalgia that English people often associate with these iconic cliffs. As I gaze
upon their chalky faces, I am reminded of the words of Virginia Woolf, who beautifully described the cliffs as ‘standing out to sea, so that no sailor, rounding our eastern coasts, could fail to see them.’ This sentiment resonates deeply with me, reflecting not only the physical beauty of the cliffs but also the emotional journey of returning to the land of my ancestors. Just as sailors approached these cliffs after a long voyage, my painting is a metaphorical return, a poignant reflection on heritage and the enduring sense of place. © Stephanie Fuller (Burns) 2024
