Kevin O'Neill

Kevin began his art journey in 2014, preceding his retirement. Originally working in social care, the change over to art was aided by a variety of tutors from both the UK and France, who have helped him develop skills in a wide range of media, which he regularly switches between.

He began making pieces using cut paper after a talk with artist in Perthshire, who kindly taught him the basics of this craft and the tools that come with it.

"This led to me trying this medium and beginning to better understand what makes the essential structure and composition of an artwork, perhaps with just a slight flash of colour. The works are a simplification of a scene or design but still aim to be identifiable or to have meaning."
