Original Watercolor of Waves Crashing on Shore by Everett Mayo

Everett Mayo has been an exhibiting painter and printmaker since 1966 and teacher of art in various capacities since 1968. He has worked as a curator and gallerist in both public and private sectors since 1968 and as Incept Coordinator in 1974 helped start Pratt Institute?s Utica Division. His evolution as an artist has cycled between representation to abstraction over the decades. First and foremost he claims the painter?s task is to attempt to make the paintings beautiful to look at. In the recent past he was making oil and watercolor paintings that are rooted in Medieval Irish interlacement and early Christian monastic illumination. 2015-19 his abstractions have been inspired by the historic cast iron fancy work in the architectural detail found in Savannah. Most recently his abstractions involve interwoven images of American classic cars vintage ?59-?62. He’s solo exhibited in New York and North Carolina as well as grop exhibiting in New York and Italy. His work is found in the permanent collections of Cooperstown Art Assoc and the Munson-Williams-Proctor Museum of Art amongst other public and private collections.
