HUMOUR from artist Sarah Jane Szikora
Frequent visits to her father's native Hungary first introduced Sarah Jane to the larger than life characters which feature in her paintings.
Studying first at Harrogate College of Art and then Cleveland College of Art, she set up her own business making paper maché figures in a shop in York. After a few years, the success of her 'big girls with attitude' prompted a return to painting. Her work has since been published as limited editions, greetings cards & jigsaws.
Sarah says "a great source of inspiration is the wealth of embarrassing incidents that unites us all. Who hasn’t at sometime been caught out by a skirt unknowingly tucked in the back of your knickers, or accidentally spraying tap water down the front of your trousers. Need I say more?"
