Sue Macartney Snape Painting the Essentials of British Culture in Her Work

I went to 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 section in the Telegraph was called the "Social Stereotypes" column. Anyway I had wanted to buy one of Sue Macartney Snape's prints at the show but found myself in the annoying circumstance of having no money to purchase the prints with.I have since discovered how collectable her pieces are with her caricatures eagerly sought after by many members of high society.  Personally I'm sure that a lot of the people Sue Macartney Snape paints have several of her caricature prints secretly stashed somewhere in there home. I digress once again, I went looking for a piece of her art online and found several sites that allowed me to purchase pieces of her art.I specifically liked the picture "collecting cuttings" with the gorgeous caricatures that she makes feel so vibrant and jolly amid the structure of an English garden. I had Sue Macartney Snape's artwork sent to me via the mail and it now has the best spot in my front room. There was a limited run on the prints of six hundred and each picture was 22" X 18" un mounted. A picture framing company mounted and framed the print and was really pleased with the results.If you haven't had the delight of looking at her work should check her out as she has a extravagant take on the weird structure that is British society.
