‘Lord of the Rings’ Stage Show

In 2006, I was commissioned by Kevin Wallace Ltd. to make publicity panels for the ‘The Lord of the Rings’ stage show.

The panels, which feature scenes from the book, were hand-painted and embroidered onto unbleached linen fibre paper. They were shown in Toronto, Canada, and again in the West End, London in 2007.

William Bennett, of Kevin Wallace Ltd, said:

“Thank you for your tremendous work on the commissioned pieces for The ‘Lord of the Rings’ opening night event. They exceeded our expectations and generated much attention and praise from the guests. I can only marvel at the amount of skill and attention to detail that went into each panel. We have now installed the work in our offices and look forward to enjoying them for many years to come.”
