Kevin graduated from Derby Art School (now university) in 1965 and has been painting and drawing for decades. His style is original and intriguing. Find out for yourself.

His work has been shown throughout Europe and in the USA.

He continues to exhibit on a regular basis and is currently planning shows in Germany and the USA.

His drawings on the record review page of the „Süddeutsche Zeitung“ frequently draw favourable comments. It’s a job the artist enjoys.

A large exhibition of teddy bear pictures is planned for November 2002 in Nürnberg’s toy museum.

The deeply serious and the outrageously humorous forever exists side by side.
