Jay Van Everen was an American artist, illustrator, and writer whose works combined classical techniques with modernist influences. Active in the first half of the 20th century, he worked across painting, book illustration, and mural design.

Though not widely known today, Van Everen contributed to a tradition of American regionalism and decorative illustration. His art reflected a thoughtful balance between formal training and narrative content, often exploring themes of myth, allegory, and human form.
