Roger Garland was an English artist, teacher and Tolkien illustrator.
History
Roger Garland attended Plymouth Art School and studied graphic design at the University of Wolverhampton, where he met his wife Linda Garland.[1] Both graduated in 1970.[1][2] Their son Seth Garland (born 1977) is also an artist. [3] After graduating, Garland taught art at the Poltair School in Cornwall for a decade, while also building a career as an illustrator.[1] His first collaboration with George Allen & Unwin was in 1981,[1] when he was hired to paint a cover for the paperback release of Unfinished Tales. In 1989, he co-founded Lakeside Gallery with his wife, which permanently displays their artwork, including Roger's Tolkien-related paintings, to this day.[1] In his opinion, The Lord of the Nazgûl is his best painting, because it "captures the darker side of these works".[4] He was also an honorary member of The Tolkien Society since 1994.[5]
