Heike's Sarah Kay Collection

Hello my dear Sarah Kay friend,
I love
the pictures of the australian artist Sarah Kay.
Here you can see two
of the very rare photos of her, may be these are her two kids :


Sarah Kay
lives in a suburb of Sidney, Australia, far away from the big city.
Together with her son Adam and her daughter Alison she resides in a
house with a beautiful garden.
She doesn't want any publicity and never
gives any interviews not even for commercial purposes.
Sarah had
always been fond of drawing. So she had studied at an Art Academy and
at the age of 20 she had started working for an advertising agency.
The
designs which brought her great success, however, were made during a
period of great anxiety:
her little daughter, Allison, was badly ill
and to distract herself, Sarah Kay began to draw.
She designed happy
children in a peaceful environment like the one she had known herself
on her grandparents' farm.
One day she sold 20 drawings to a greeting
card publisher.
The 20 pictures were printed on children's birthday
cards and this also meant the triomph of Sarah Kay's drawings.
The
lovely, richly detailed renditions appealed the public immediately.
Nowadays, Sarah Kay is known all over the world.
The overwhelming
success of her designs may be due to the fact that they remind people
of their own childhood.
Her paintings of children
are always so lovely and romatic.
I like her kind of style. I
collect pictures of Sarah Kay since 1980.
In that year I bought a lot
of stickers, but I didn´t had the sticker album.
Some month ago I
discovered a Sarah Kay Sticker Album at ebay.com through the help of
Natasja, a Sarah Kay Collector from the netherlands.
She has also a
very nice homepage about Sarah Kay.
Please watch my Sarah Kay linklist
und you´ll find Natasja´s homepage.
Well, this Album was from Figurine
Panini
and full with the complete 144 stickers of Sarah Kay of 1980.
So I took
part at the auction regarding this album and I´ve won the auction!
What
a great luck. So now I own this wonderful album :
Sometimes
ago I found about
20 postcards plus envelope of Sarah Kay in a post-office in Frankfurt,
Germany.
During the following weeks I bought really all of the 50
postcards of this special collection.
Those postcards are great,
because they are bigger than the small stickers of the album.
I keep my
Sarah Kay stickers together with some mini-Sarah Kay stickers in a nice
box with flowers.
At least I also have a Sarah Kay lampshade with nice
pictures on it.
I´m
always glad to get mail from other Sarah Kay friends and collectors.
So
I would appreciate it to get an
from you. Hope to hear from you!
Now, please enjoy my Sarah Kay collection :
