Evelyn De Morgan ; 1855 – 1919 was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter. She was born Evelyn Pickering to upper middle class parents . Evelyn was educated at home and started drawing lessons when she was 15. Evelyn recorded in her diary, "Art is eternal, but life is short…" "I will make up for it now, I have not a moment to lose." She went on to persuade her parents to let her go to art school. At first they discouraged it, but in 1873 she was enrolled at the Slade School of Art. She studied the great artists of the Renaissance; she was particularly fond of the works of Botticelli. In 1887, she married the ceramicist William De Morgan. They lived together in London until he died in 1917. She died two years later. There is a permanent exhibition of some of her best-known works at the De Morgan Centre in Wandsworth, London (part of the Wandsworth Museum).
