Thank you to everyone who made the effort to visit Sarah-jane at the galleries  and to everyone who gave a home to ‘Helter Szkelter’.  It went like Hot cakes!

Artique galleries,  may have a few copies left but we have now sold the 10 prints we kept back for our own collectors.

Thank you again.

There will be no new publications until next year.

We will add the new prints to our shopping site when they are in stock and ready to purchase, however we would advise you to reserve a print by contacting us now!

It was a very busy time for Szikora fine art.  We are celebrating our first birthday by moving premises and while also planning the forthcoming print release, SJ still found  time to attend an event in the Whitewall Galleries, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Just in time to make her Christmas extra special, lucky prize draw winner, Olga Fiodorow,  won a lovely Gingerbread Castle commissioned by Sarah-Jane especially for the exhibition.  The fabulous Castle was lovingly hand made by local master bakers Ian and Jan Thomson and decorated in all Sarah-Jane’s trademark confectionery.

The four day promotion of SJ’s artwork on her home turf  went very well indeed.  There were plenty of gingerbread men in Y-fronts and gorgeous handmade chocolates were supplied by another  local business ‘Savarin’s’ – Information about both of these wonderful Newcastle companies can be found by clicking the following links:

New Prints for Spring 2010

Following the overwhelming success of Sarah-Jane’s  ‘ biscuit is back’ launch in February ‘09, we are pleased to announce that a new collection of Sarah-Jane’s  recent images will be released as limited edition prints in February 2010.

Our mailing list will be contacted and offered the chance to reserve these prints first.   We will email details on or around February 8th 2010.

For trade customers only, we will be exhibiting these prints on February 7 – 11th February at Spring Fair (Hall 3,  Stand number  B26).

If you are interested in viewing original artwork, there will soon be the chance to visit Sarah-Jane in her studio.  This will be possible by appointment only from March 2010.

We hope you will forgive us, and we PROMISE it will never happen again! -  if it’s any consolation ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ – a patriotic gathering of jelly babies – is still available.  Please click here for details

We will also be releasing a new piece soon.  Keep a look out for our email over the coming weeks.

It’s been a strange and sometimes very difficult couple of years since my last exhibition and getting back into the gallery (without an injunction!) felt absolutely great.  The enthusiasm and dedication from my art collectors continually amazes me and the response I’ve had to this collection has thrilled me to bits,  So I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came along, especially those who dug deep for charity and I need to apologise if I didn’t get to say hello to everyone in person.

I will now return from this latest adventure to the North East, find a new home and start my next collection.  I hope to see you all back again in another couple of years, sooner if I get my socks pulled up.

Thanks all, the gingerbread has wings again.  SJ x

ps We are in the gallery 27 on Cork Street, until 2pm on Saturday, so it’s not too late if you want to view the paintings.

For any further details please contact Margi Lawson on 0792 1197 422

SJ draws the winning raffle tickets for the Alzheimer’s society

As if anything could be more exciting than that….I have discovered a new collector in our midst – none other than singing canny lass, Lily Allen.  I’m very out of tune with the hit parade these days, but according to my little nieces, this is ‘cool’.  So that’s me all chuffed then, but enough of this outrageous name dropping, I’ve got an exhibition to finish….so if you are coming to London next week, I look forward to seeing you in the gallery!  SJ

Also, because of the sudden influx of orders for new prints, we have been delayed uploading all information about the new prints to the site… shortly you will be able to see samples of the different versions of the new boxed button editions and paper mounts etc.   Thanks for your patience while we resolve these issues.

Makeover on paper and canvas is now SOLD OUT- please try our links page for copies.

L’enfant and Defendant are SOLD OUT – please try our links page for copies.

Thanks again folks, this is only the beginning, but you’ve made my year already.  SJ
