Making of a Fast Bowler | Dennis Lillee Artwork | Chappell Foundation Dinner 2025
An Australian Legend
Commissioned for The Chappell Foundation Dinner, 2025 The Making of a Fast Bowler is a tribute to Dennis Lillee — one of Australian cricket’s most mythic figures.
Signed by Dennis Lillee himself, the artwork fetched over $4,000 at auction, with proceeds supporting The Chappell Foundation’s mission to combat youth homelessness.
"The piece draws on the mythology of fast bowling. It's inspired by Lillee’s own writings in The Art of Fast Bowling and the cultural folklore that surrounds his era. "
