Following visiting an show in 2006, that was at the Lygon arms, Broadway. The exhibitor was Sue Macartney Snape who is probably better known for illustrating topical characters in the Telegraph, I think the area in the Telegraph was called the “Social Stereotypes” column. Anyway I had sought to purchase one of Sue Macartney Snape’s prints at the show but discovered myself in the annoying position of having no money to spend.

I have since discovered how fashionable her individual prints are with her caricatures avidly chased after by many members of high society. Personally I’m sure that many of the people Sue Macartney Snape illustrates have several of her caricature prints secreted away somewhere in there home. I digress once again, I went searching for some of her work online and discovered a few sites that allowed me to purchase prints of her work.

I specifically liked the picture “collecting cuttings” with the lovely caricatures that she makes look so vibrant and happy amid the structure of an English garden. I had Sue Macartney Snape’s print posted to me via the post and it now has pride of place in my front room. There was a restricted run on the prints of six hundred and each print was 22” X 18” without a mount. I had a local picture framing company mount and frame the print and was really happy with the results.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of looking at her artwork should look her up as she has a witty take on the weird structure that is British society.

Sue Macartney Snape is an outstanding artist that creates very british caricature's.
