Artwork by Ocean Eversley of Falmouth will be displayed at The Gallery at FCTV from Sunday, September 13, through Friday, October 30. A reception for “Echoes of the Coast: Stories of Place, Presence and the Female Gaze” will be held on Sunday, September 13, from 3 to 5 PM.
Eversley is a painter, poet, photographer and retired clinical social worker whose multidisciplinary work explores identity, resilience, beauty and belonging.
After decades as a Martha’s Vineyard business owner, Eversley turned her full-time attention to art in 2024 with the launch of Ocean Eversley Art Gallery, an online storefront featuring original paintings, photography and functional art.
Drawing inspiration from her years in Falmouth and Martha’s Vineyard, Eversley’s paintings blend portraiture and coastal landscapes into dreamlike compositions. As an African American and Native American artist, she is particularly influenced by the diversity and creativity of BIPOC communities. Her work often centers women, celebrating their strength, vulnerability, individuality and joy.
