Who is Tim Tolkien?
Tim Tolkien is an English sculptor who has designed several monumental sculptures, including the award-winning Sentinel.
He has a wood carving and metal sculpture business at Cradley Heath, West Midlands. He is also a bass player and member of the band Klangstorm, founded in 1996.
Tolkien was raised in the village of Hughenden Valley, near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and, with his two brothers, Stephen and Nick attended the local Royal Grammar School. Several large canvasses painted by Tim still graced the school's corridors for many years after he left. He graduated with a degree in fine art from the University of Reading in 1981.
He is the great-nephew of J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings.
