Buyers Snap Up Sarah-jane Szikora Prints

Art by Sarah-Jane Szikora is proving to be increasingly popular after a gallery sold out of a selection of her work.

All limited edition Sarah-Jane Szikora prints were bought by art enthusiasts when they went on sale at Artique Galleries in Cambridge, Tunbridge Wells and Windsor during July.

The northern artist revealed on her personal blog that she enjoyed her time at the events which showcased some of her new work, original paintings and pencil sketches.

She said: "I must offer thanks to anyone who made the effort to visit me at Artique Galleries during July (unfairly, it was really hot in the South East). It's always humbling to think I'm worth a couple of hours of your precious time and I appreciate it very much."

The limited edition prints incorporated Sarah-Jane's trademark humour and included one painting entitled Helter Szelter which showed a giant helter skelter in the style of a trifle.

Sarah-Jane Szikora prints are famous for featuring humorous depictions of mischievous gingerbread men, cheeky confectionary figures and larger than life ladies and gentlemen.

She said: "I love humour and draw a lot of inspiration from funny books, films and television."

The artist is currently working on several projects including the refurbishment of three dementia wards in Bradford Royal Infirmary as part of a charity scheme to improve the lives of patients.

She said: "It is a fascinating personal journey but also an insight into the patient/relative experience and how the NHS operates in this area."

Szikora is embarking on the project because she acts as a carer for her mother, who suffers from dementia, and admitted that this has reduced the time that she can spend painting.

The popular painter said that she tries to experience as much studio time as possible but the constraints of caring for an elderly person with dementia are often great.

"I've got the rest of my days (hopefully) to scribble and daub, whereas life holds very little pleasure for my mother and other sufferers of this awful disease," she added.

Szikora has said that she wants to encourage human warmth through her irreverent artwork as she believes in distracting people from the negative aspects of life.

Sarah-Jane's passion for illustrating the human body was inspired by taking life drawing classes at the Cleveland College of Art and she has now evolved to create extreme comedy figures.

Harrods, Selfridges and various galleries across the United Kingdom have exhibited Sarah-Jane Szikora prints.
