About the Artist Bruce Everett (The painting “Las Virgenes Valley, 2001” is in the Craftsman area of the library)

Bruce Everett lives and works in Los Angeles County. His technical mastery became evident at an early age. Upon visiting the Chicago Library as a young boy, he saw a mural size painting that inspired him to follow a career in art. This Library connection makes the Cerritos painting a very personal and meaningful statement. Everett studied painting at the University of Iowa and University of California, Santa Barbara, graduating with a Master of Fine Arts in 1968. Although he was trained as an abstract painter, he later became interested in portraying the landscape in a realistic manner.
