Christine Youldon’s first solo exhibition “Lawyers : a Collection of Portraits 1999 – 2008” was held at the Chambers Gallery, London in January 2008 and attracted nationwide media interest. The private view was sponsored by Browne Jacobson Solicitors. The exhibition included 34 portraits of well known lawyers including Michael Beloff QC, who delivered the opening speech, the former Lord Chancellor, Lord Falconer, Marianna Hildyard QC, Lord Woolf, Lord Slynn, Lord Phillips the Lord Chief Justice , Sir Anthony Clarke, Master of the Rolls, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Kenneth Clarke, QC, MP; Cherie Booth QC, Harriet Harman MP and Baroness Butler-Sloss, solicitors Vanni Treves, Fiona Shackleton and Baroness Kingsmill.

The exhibition 'Players: All the World’s a Stage' was created by the artist Christine Youldon with the aim of celebrating the art of theatre through the medium of the art of portraiture.

Art and theatre have always been inextricably linked, and in this exhibition they are aligned beautifully in a series of portraits on display at Mall Galleries. The subjects of these portraits include the full spectrum of talent from both on stage and behind the scenes, including actors, directors, producers, playwrights, administrators and a theatre critic.
