Sarah Jane Szikora
Coming from a large family Sarah Jane Szikora was constantly
looking for ways to amuse herself and soon discovered that drawing and painting
were by far her favourite. Sarah Jane also made frequent trips abroad to her
father’s native Hungary, encountering for the first time the larger than life
ladies and gents who were probably the earliest influence for the characters in
her paintings.
Although she found school to be an unpleasant experience Sarah
Jane enjoyed art and music classes, so it was natural for her to pursue an
artistic career. Sarah Jane Szikora completed a foundation course at Harrogate
College of Art where she studied a range of subjects, including photography,
sculpture and graphics. During this time Sarah Jane maintained a lifelong
interest in simple drawing, and always enjoyed the life class most.
From Harrogate Sarah Jane Szikora went on to study
illustration at Cleveland College of Art. The same interest in studying the
human form continued and led to the development of the extreme figures in her
work.
Sarah Jane Szikora left Cleveland, taking with her a HND with
distinction and a handful of paintings, but Sarah Jane didn’t yet know how to
turn her studies into a job, so the painting went on the backburner.
