Sue Macartney Snape Art
b. 1957
Sue has quite rightly earned her reputation as the finest in her field. She simply has the ability to observe the day to day and the humourous side of life. Observing and revealing the hideous and glorious nature of English Eccentricities and portraying them in a wonderfully humorous way. Her works are funny, truthful, skilled and thoughtful all at once. Sue immortalises these very British characters and the situations they find themselves in perfectly .... we are all familiar with at least one of her characters in our own lives! Sue has has sell out exhibitions with David Ker, Jonathan Clark and The Sloane Club and has had many commissions, including ones from Glynebourne, The Metropolitan Opera and Barbara Amiel - wife of Lord Conrad Black - a list surely to grow! Macartney Snape won the 2004 Pont Award for drawing the British Character.(Biography provided by Bink Fine Art)

Sue Mccartney Snape was born in Tanzania and brought up in Australia. She now lives and paints in London and is the award winning artist and illustrator of the 'Social Stereotypes' column in the Saturday Telegraph. Sue has been the Saturday Telegraph Magazine's illustrator for over 15 years, and has a reputation as the finest in her field. With her limited edition lithograph prints selling worldwide, she is a household name, and has been acclaimed as 'the P.G. Wodehouse of art' Social commentator Sue Macartney-Snape has been illuminating English life with her dart-like wit and observatory skills in the column ‘Social Stereotypes’, carrying on the grand old tradition of mordant English satire. She is a master of caricature and her limited-edition prints of British social stereotypes are brilliant, whimsical, and amusing. She shows us misfits and ultrafits, but always with affection.
Sue Macartney-Snape has the ability to observe the day to day and the humorous side of life. Her intriguing observations reveal the hideous and glorious nature of English Eccentricities. Travel writer and television personality John Julius Norwich calls Macartney-Snape a "master of caricature" and says her paintings and limited edition prints "illustrate the English social scene more brilliantly and with greater accuracy than those of any other painter working today." Her work is similar to Jules Feiffer, Ronald Searle, Quentin Blake...
