Born in Castleford, in the heart of the industrial West Riding of Yorkshire, Kevin Walsh is proud to hail from the town which produced the world-famous sculptor Henry Moore.

After studying illustration at the Wakefield College of Art, Kevin developed an early reputation, initially for his aircraft paintings. He is a full member of the Guild of Aviation Artists, who have honoured him with many awards.

In recent years, he has become increasingly known for a much wider variety of subjects. Landscapes, city life and transport in bygone days now figure prominently among his works.

He travels many miles to research his paintings and spends countless hours sketching, before committing the final composition to canvas. Accurate technical and historical detail, combined with an ability to capture the warmth and atmosphere of his subject, are the hallmarks of this remarkably accomplished artist.

Kevin's original oil paintings are represented in many important collections worldwide. Among his collectors are Jack Charlton, Tony Dorigo, and ex-Defence Minister Lord Mason. His works have been commissioned by leading publishers in Britain and overseas for greetings cards, prints and calendars.
