Who is kevin sharkey

His birth father was a Nigerian student at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and his birth mother was of Irish descent. With no state supports available for single parents, adoption was the societal norm. Kevin was adopted by the Sharkey family at a very young age. As a child he took part in Irish dancing, which won him 37 medals before the age of He was also a runner-up in the all-Ireland Disco dancing championship at Zhivago nightclub at the age of His art career began at the age of 12 where he experimented with oils on canvas and bright colours, inspired by the Donegal landscape and scenery.

Kevin has been a full-time artist since and has developed his art through many mediums, his style being known for abstract, modern work, with bright and textured colours throughout. He was also briefly a photographer and a model, photographed by David Bailey.

Sharkey had a small part in Father Ted where he played a priest named Father Shaft in two episodes. Sharkey was also a farmhand in the Irish TV series Celebrity Farm where he was the fourth farmhand to be evicted. His art is considered abstract, modern work, with bright, textured colours. His style is also regarded as stylistically diverse with many of his works being visually different from each other. Kevin is in the house. Need receipts? He essentially lives in the pages of Living. Kevin once spent the day tasting cookies from the Martha Stewart test kitchen.

You must be wondering: Surely Martha loves her other colleagues just as much as she adores Kevin? Well, I own every issue dating back to June and Kevin is the only person besides Martha to appear on the cover.

It is quite the real-estate leap for somebody working in print media, but maybe Kevin saved his pennies for a long time. His new pad — a study in beige, swathed in the type of silks that rich old ladies flock to — was documented with a ten-page spread in Living , with a two-page addendum focused solely on his black-tie housewarming party. Perhaps most maddeningly, if you follow Martha — and boy do I ever — she seems the picture of warmth and kindness, always making note of the many people who staff her homes and thanking them by name.

And he probably is. Dammit, Kevin. On a gravel-lined drive in front of Cantitoe Corners, Kevin holds a massive flower arrangement just bursting with peonies and smokebush.

His face is entirely obscured, and he bends backward under its beautiful, beautiful weight.
