Born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham in 1971, Sarah-Jane Szikora discovered her passion aged 4, in hospital. Eyes bandaged from surgery, there was a crayon in her hand, and despite the obvious handicap she was drawing pictures. Many years later this passion is thriving.
After leaving school, Sarah-Jane attended Northern art colleges, specialising in illustration and in 1993 the decision was made to dedicate herself to her dream of working as an artist, and has done so ever since.
Sarah-Jane has had several major UK exhibitions and our gallery has supported the lovable little gingerbread along with his selected fat and skinny friends since being chosen to distribute her art.
Living and working in Gateshead, the North East of England has always been Sarah Jane’s home.
