Born on July 2nd, 1974, this young talented Barbadian Artist was educated at the Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary School where he was successful in gaining a certificate in art.
He began painting at the age of fifteen, with pastels but later switched to watercolor and oils, his current media of choice. Culture and Heritage are the main themes in his paintings, which possess a peculiar Barbadian charm and flavour.
He has completed his first one-man show on May 25th 1996 at the Barbados Arts Council, where he is a member. In 1997, he was invited to display his work at the Arts and Events Gallery in Toronto, as part of Barbados’ perspective, which featured contemporary Barbadian art.
Everick copped two silver NIFCA Awards in 1997 and has exhibited in numerous group shows at the Barbados Arts Council Art Gallery since 1994. His works of art call our attention to the special beauty of Barbados, captured in sunlight, which shines brightly in many of his scenes.
In 1999, Everick was also invited to show his work in Orlando, Florida for the annual National Association of Barbados Organizations Art Exhibition.
In 2003 and 2007 his work was chosen to be on the cover of the “Barbados in a Nutshell” publication, also in 2007 one of his paintings was featured in the CLICO calendar.
His paintings are included in many private collections in Canada, the United States of America and Europe.
