May Everett is a printmaker based in Sussex, UK. Everett studied Fine Art Painting at the University of Brighton and discovered printmaking techniques in her final year, fuelling an interest to unify her practice as both a painter and a printmaker. She is interested in lyrical abstraction and the combination of spontaneous mark making with more considered collaged elements. Everett's preferred printmaking method is monotype as the process offers the opportunity to capture luminous colour and brushwork, resulting in unique and serendipitous outcomes. Her work is very much process led therefore she tends to discover the image whilst working although recurring themes often emerge. Sussex landscapes, gardens, foliage, textiles, window frames, archways, vessels, and bodily forms shift, dissolve and reappear as semi-translucent inks are repeatedly applied and then removed with brayers, rags and brushes. In her recent work she has been exploring impermanence in the natural world, combined with a current interest in physical and imagined borders. The ‘frame within a frame’ construct offers opportunities for further abstraction as elements of the central image expand to become a pattern or motif, and also questions the act of picture making itself. Everett’s work has featured in many group exhibitions, art fairs and open studio events, notably ‘It Rose & IT Fell’ curated by Terrace Gallery in East London. Her work has recently been selected for the Jackson’s Art Prize longlist and is held in UK and international private collections.
