Following visiting an exhibition in 2006, which was at the Lygon arms, Broadway. The artist was Sue Macartney Snape who is probably better known for illustrating topical caricature in the Telegraph, I think the area in the Telegraph was titled the “Social Stereotypes” column. Anyway I had sought to purchase one of Sue Macartney Snape’s prints at the show but found myself in the annoying circumstance of having no cash to purchase the prints with.

I have since discovered how fashionable her pieces are with her caricatures avidly sought after by many members of high society. I have a sneaky suspicion that a lot of the characters Sue Macartney Snape paints have several of her caricature paintings secretly stashed somewhere in there home. I digress once again, I went looking for some of her work online and found a few sites that allowed me to buy prints of her work.

I particularly liked the picture “collecting cuttings” with the gorgeous characters that she makes look so bright and happy amid the structure of an English garden reminding me of relatives getting their heads together over Village hall fundraising. I had Sue Macartney Snape’s artwork posted to me via the mail and it now has pride of place in my Kitchen layout. There was a limited run on the prints of 600 and each picture was 22” X 18” un mounted. A picture framing company mounted and framed the print and was really happy with the results.

Anyone that has not yet had the pleasure of looking at her artwork should check her out as she has a extravagant take on the weird structure that is British society.
