In Conversation Kevin Sinnott with Gayle Rogers

Doors open at 6pm. Join us for what promises to be an engaging evening of conversation drawing on Kevin's current exhibition of paintings of the welsh valleys and beyond. With light classical music by Annie Ashton (cello). 

Kevin returned to Wales and the community he grew up in, after many years living and working in London. He says 'It was initially a difficult return, not being exactly what my wife and I had wanted to do. In some ways it was more of a retreat from the challenges that my ambitions demanded I should always meet.  Then, the returning of this native provided many more challenges. The artistic benefits, however, during the last fifteen years have been immense. The inspiration which I have gratefully, if not always humbly, received from my immediate environment, has sometimes seemed like a reward for coming home – the “fatted calf” even. A reward for the recognition and acknowledgement of my debt to the place in which my peculiar adventure began'. Gayle manages the Workers Gallery and has worked as an artist for 28 years including a plein air artist residency at the Pen Y Cymoedd Wind Energy Site and working to commission for loacl and national organisations.
