Sue Macartney-Snape was born in Tanzania, brought up in Australia and now lives and paints in London. The author and historian John Julius Norwich calls her a 'master of caricature' and says her paintings 'illustrate the English social scene more brilliantly and with greater accuracy than those of any other painter working today'. For the past six years she has illustrated The Telegraph Magazine's 'Social Stereotypes' column, and selected images appear in her new book The Embarrassing Parents, published by John Murray as well as in her earlier books Absolutely Typical, and Absolutely Typical Too, published by Methuen and Random House, and The Party Blonde published by John Murray.
