Born, Birmingham UK in 1953, Kevin has an English, Welsh background
and had an interest in drawing and sketching from an early age.

However he made a career in Civil Engineering as a Contract
Technician/ Draughtmen for 24 years, from 1971, as this was considered to be a
proper job at the time by his family, rather than becoming an Artist..

There were opportunities for world travel with this career,
which widened his horizons and gave him an understanding on the
perspective of lives and culture around the globe.
He has met some wonderful people on his travels and is still in touch
with many of them today.

His Art career began in 1993, creating Railway scenes with the
Guild Of Railway Artists in Warwick UK
working in oil colour and also had some success creating
Portraits and Landscapes other genres.

Then in 2002 Kevin had a notion about creating pieces of
Art in black and white after acknowledging the
resolution and quality of black and white photography
and realising the potential that a monochrome 'look' might
bring to a painting.

His ideas were reinforced by a local gallery, who thought there
may be a market for black and white Art and commissioned
him to paint a series of bygone scenes of Birmingham and London.
This led to two sell out exhibitions at the gallery 2005 and 2008.

He also became Resident Artist at this Gallery from 2006,
meeting and serving the Public, and helping with running the gallery.

Buckingham Fine Arts published three no. images
(black and white Limited Editions) in 2006. They were, Teddy Bear's Picnic,
Down At The Rub Dub and Little Miss Mop.

In summer 2006 , Kevin's black and white Art was exhibited
at the Royal Pump Rooms, Royal Leamington Spa as part of Warwickshire Artsweek 2006.

Kevin paints from dark to light, with highlights consisting of
several layers of paint. Art lovers have remarked that his
artwork looks three dimensional and is alive and vibrant.

His inspiration comes from looking at photographic material and/or
visiting scenes insitu. He then creates a sketch (more than one if it is a commission, letting the commissioner choose his or her best option for
the final painting)

Then home to his own studio to create the final painting,
adding his ideas on how the image should finally look.

Kevin's art has appeared on various types of merchandise over the years, including Jigsaw Puzzles, CD's, Greeting Cards, Limited Edition Prints etc.

He has often been featured in the Local Press and related Magazines over the years and his Art can be found in Private Collections in UK and overseas.

He also a member of the Guild Of Railway Artists where he promotes his British Steam Railway Art in England and Wales. 'Train On Time' won first prize at Kenilworth Arts Festival in 2011. See 'Original Paintings For Sale' page
