EVERALD BROWN (born 1917 in Clarendon, Jamaica; died 2003 in Brooklyn, NY)
A carpenter by trade, Brown began painting and carving in the late 1960’s while living in Kingston.  At this time Brown, who was a self-ordained priest of a sect related to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, was inspired by a vision to decorate a small church he had built.  In addition to adorning the church with his paintings, he also carved ceremonial objects for it.  These first works were very well received not only by his own congregation, but by other visitors.  This encouraged Brown to continue painting and carving.  He began participating in exhibitions and in the early 1970’s received several awards for his work.  Because of the close connection between Brown’s artistic and spiritual life, his imagery drew heavily upon his spiritual experiences (including his interest in Rastafarianism), and his visions.  In the early 1970’s Brown left Kingston to move to the country with his family.  They settled in the remote district of Murray Mountain, the hills near St. Ann.  Here on a limestone hill, named Meditation Heights, Brown built a house.  The early years on Murray Mountain were especially productive and Brown produced many works, including the first of his highly decorative musical instruments (the drums, dove harps and star banjoes).  Since then Brown has continued to live and work in his private sanctuary on Murray Mountain, inspired by nature and his mystical visions.
From Black Art Ancestral Legacy, 1989
