Sue Macartney-Snape was born in Tanzania, brought up in Australia and now lives and paints in London. John Julius Norwich called her a "master of caricature" and said her paintings "illustrate the English social scene more brilliantly and with greater accuracy than those of any other painter working today." For 14 years she has illustrated The Telegraph Magazine's 'Social Stereotypes' column. Nine books of her original stereotypes have been published since 1994 and hundreds of thousands of copies have been sold.
A portion of the proceeds from the Estate Of John Challis will be donated to three charities that he supported: British Hedgehog Preservation Society (1164542), The Cuan Wildlife Rescue (1096812), and Tusk Trust (803118).
