During his lifetime, he worked on more than fifty productions, and published multiple books of his designs and paintings with his partner, Miller, enabling his innovative and vibrant designs to live on to inspire future generations. Sainthill later won a Tony for his work on 'The Canterbury Tales' (1967). One of his most celebrated projects was for the set and costume designs of 'Le Coq d’Or' at the Royal Opera House, Sainthill being given this commission after Marc Chagall suddenly withdrew from the project. Returning to London in 1949, Sainthill’s career took off he designed for the ballet 'Ile des Sirenes' starring Margot Fonteyn (1950) and then 'The Tempest' at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre (1951). He was discharged in 1946 and briefly lived with Miller in Merioola, which was also the home of a group of artists including Alec Murray, Jocelyn Rickards and Donald Friend. During the Second World War, Sainthill served with the Australian Army. This success was followed by exhibitions in Australia. His paintings of the dancers garnered attention and, in 1939, he was invited to London to exhibit at the Redfern Gallery. His love of theatre design began in Australia, where he designed for touring ballets. He was born in Tasmania, but moved to Melbourne where he met his lifelong partner, Harry Karl Tatlock Miller (1913-1989).
