Performer's skill is evident at the end (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artist

'performer's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'skill is evident at the end' is the wordplay.
'skill' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'at the end' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'evident' is 't'.
'art'+'is'+'t'='ARTIST'

(Other definitions for artist that I've seen before include "Creative individual" , "Strait (anag)" , "Painter, drawer" , "Traits (anag)" , "One engaged in painting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
