Stationer mad on struck performer (7)

I believe the answer is:

artiste

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'performer' is the definition.
(an artiste is a performer or entertainer)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for artiste that I've seen before include "Performers" , "'Public performer, dancer or singer (7)'" , "A sitter for creative person" , "professional dancer?" , "Attires for professional entertainer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
