After completing long careers in the Automotive and Home Renovation industries, Everist now has the freedom to follow his creative dreams. He has cultivated his passion by painting under the instruction of several well established Canadian and International artists.

His travels from British Columbia to Newfoundland and from the Arctic to the distant shores of the Carribean have re-sparked Everist’s creative instincts.
