: Sarah Maple was born in 1985 and grew up in Sussex, where she lives today. She did her BA in Fine Art at Kingston University and in October 2007, won "4 New Sensation", a new art prize for graduates, voted by the public online, organised by channel 4 and The Saatchi Gallery.
: Much of her inspiration originated from her being brought up as a Muslim, with parents of mixed religious and cultural backgrounds, Understandably, issues of identity are of huge interest to her.
: Maple's work often takes on fabricated scenes and situations and she admits she is affected by the art world, as well as from her general surroundings; including friends, family, television and popular culture. She is also greatly moved by music, comedy and literature. She believes these influences are truly woven into her art, and provide the platform upon which her work is realised.
: Maple states that the aim of her work is: "to give my audience food for thought. I believe comedy is a great tool to achieve this, which is why i choose to portray my conceptual ideas through a light-hearted and tougne -in-cheek approach".
