Evelyn is a self-taught artist. Born in 1907 in San Francisco California, Evelyn took to art as soon as she was able to hold a crayon. Throughout her childhood, Evelyn developed an appreciation for her majestic surroundings. She would often sit in tress for hours with pastels and pad, or sit in a meadow with watercolor and canvas. Years of artistic expression made it clear that Evelyn's life would be centered upon her passion for art. After high school, Evelyn attended California College of Arts and Crafts where she discovered the many dimensions of art.
