Role- Scenic artist
On this production of The Lonesome West by the Richard Burton Theatre company, my role within the team consisted of sampling, communicating with the wider production team, completing a wide range of naturalistic scenic finishes and painting two murals representing the outdoor spaces.
This set was for a small studio space so an attention to detail and high quality finishes on every element were critical.
