Florence Everett, a painter and watercolorist, was born on July 7, 1863, in Thorold, Ontario, Canada. Her family immigrated to the United States in 1870 and settled in Iowa. Everett studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, the Ipswich Summer School of Art in Masachusetts, and the Handicraft Guild in Minneapolis. She studied under Henry B. Snell, Arthur Wesley Dow, and Frederick Fursman.
Florence began her career in Des Moines, Iowa, as a teacher, then in Duluth, Minnesota, where she was the supervisor of art in the public schools. In 1908, Florence moved to St. Louis to work at the Harris Teachers College, where she taught until 1940.
In 1921 Everett spent the summer at the Saugatuck Summer School in Saugatuck, Michigan. The school was associated with The Art Institute of Chicago, and Frederick Fursman was the director.
Everett was active in the St. Louis Artists’ Guild and the St. Louis Artists’ League. She exhibited at the Missouri State Fair in the 1920s.
Everett died on July 26, 1956, in Farmington, Michigan.
