Sue Macartney Snape

'Delighted with the Outcome' Original Illustration, British social satirist

2003

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.
