Kinsey was born in Pont-y-moel, and has developed a group of female characters who emerge repeatedly in her paintings. These characters enact roles within the themes that she explores in her work [4] including what it was like to grow up female in the industrial valleys of south east Wales; [5] and Cymreictod (a sense of feeling, being Welsh). Her touring solo show, Cymreictod – Women of Wales (1989–91), was reviewed in the magazine Spare Rib . [6] Kinsey also examines the depiction of women within a western Christian culture. [7]
Her work is represented in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea, Contemporary Art Society of Wales in Cardiff and Newport Museum in Newport. [1]

The Mabinogion is a collection of the earliest Welsh prose stories, compiled in Middle Welsh in the 12th–13th centuries from earlier oral traditions. There are two main source manuscripts, created c. 1350–1410, as well as a few earlier fragments. Often included in the broader mythologies described as the Matter of Britain, the Mabinogion consists of eleven stories of widely different types, offering drama, philosophy, romance, tragedy, fantasy and humour. Strictly speaking, the Four Branches of the Mabinogi are the main sequence of related tales, but seven others include a classic hero quest, "Culhwch and Olwen"; a historic legend, complete with glimpses of a far off age, in "Lludd and Llefelys"; and other tales portraying a very different King Arthur from the later popular versions.
