About
In 1881, American artist Winslow Homer arrived in Cullercoats. During his time he captured the working life of the Northern England fishing village.
Settling in a cliffside cottage he painted Cullercoats fisher girls and men. When Homer opened his curtains each morning, the lively scene of fisher girls mending nets, fishermen at work, and the colourful, bustling beach dominated by strong women, unfolded before him. The women's voices echoed from the cliffs, showcasing their equal role alongside men. Susan’s then 15-year-old grandmother, Maggie Jefferson, became his favourite muse. Susan shares stories of how Homer came to Cullercoats, stayed and painted.
