## Resource

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Kevin Devonport (@KevinDevonportFineArt)   Kevin Devonport is a self-taught British artist whose journey from prison to international recognition highlights the life-changing power of art. Raised in Leeds, he left school without qualifications and served several prison terms for drug-related offences.  During a 13-year sentence, he discovered painting through a class run by Care After Combat, a charity supporting ex-service personnel, sparking a profound shift in his life.   While imprisoned, Devonport earned a First-Class Honours BSc in Sociology from the Open University, shaping his artistic themes of identity, consumerism, and social structure. His still-life works use everyday objects to tell personal and social stories.   Based at Assembly House Studios in Leeds, Kevin exhibits widely and mentors others, particularly ex-offenders and veterans, promoting art as a tool for rehabilitation.   For more information on the work of Kevin Devonport go to https:// KevinDevonport.com/     To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts   For full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www. ministryofarts .co.uk Email: ministryofartsorg@gmail.com Social Media: @ministryofartsorg   Hosted on Acast.
