Kevin Devonport is an artist based at Assembly House Studios in Leeds UK. Art has had a major impact in transforming his life as he originally learnt to paint whilst serving a prison sentence for drug offences. This can be seen particularly with his Trainers/Tarot series of paintings that highlight the different identities adopted throughout the course of life. Though he does not hold any artistic qualifications, with being self-taught, he does have a First Class Honours BSc in Sociology that can be seen to have an influence on many of his paintings underlying themes.
