In 1993 after being spotted at his end of year show he was given the post of artist-in-residence at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. For several years Kevin was able to paint the day-to-day activities in the opera house: performances, shows, even following Pavarotti from rehearsal to the final operatic production. These classics were put on the front of the Royal Opera House brochures and he was given an exhibition of the work he had produced over the years. In the period since Headley has continued to hone his skills, creating figurative work which captures the tension between the dreams and desires of the individual, and the reality of contemporary life.
