Biography
Jim Everett – pura-lia meenamatta – is a member of the Plangermairreenner clan of the Ben Lomond people of the Cape Portland nation, Tasmania. He was born on Flinders Island in 1942 and in 2008 was based in Hobart. Everett has had a longstanding engagement with the arts as a poet, playwright, writer of short stories and as a television and radio producer. It was not until 2006 that Everett took up fine arts, when he worked with the painter Jonathan Kimberley to produce a collection of synthetic polymer paint and charcoal works that interwove Everett’s poetic script with Kimberley’s organic abstractions. This group of works was exhibited at Bett Gallery in Hobart, and the gallery’s website describes the collaboration as serving those 'who see the future as one necessarily defined in respectful conversation and shared journeys’ between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Everett’s long and passionate involvement with Aboriginal affairs, both as an activist and a government employee, informs his artistic aspirations across the full range of creative mediums he employs.
