Kevin likes to paint and sketch outdoors. Such works often become references for much larger paintings, which are completed in the studio. Kevin works in oil, watercolour or acrylic mediums.

He has exhibited on several occasions with both the Royal Society of Oil Painters (ROI) and the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) at the (Mall Galleries, London).  His details can be found in the national publication, Who’s Who in Art.

Living in Oulton Broad, Kevin is surrounded by marine subjects. He is not only close to the Norfolk Broads’, but also to the painterly fishing villages and beaches along the Norfolk and Suffolk coastline.

Interestingly it was whilst he was working on Lowestoft fish market during the late seventies, when the docks were crammed with deep sea fishing vessels, that he first took painting seriously. He has consistently maintained his interest in marine painting and is today an active member of the East Anglian Group of Marine Artists (EAGMA)
