She was an English painter whose works were influenced by the style of the Pre - Raphaelite movement. She was a follower of Pre-Raphaelist Edward Burne - Jones.  Her paintings exhibit spirituality use of mythological, biblical, and literary themes, the role of women,light and darkness as metaphors, life and death, and allegories of war.

In August 1883, Evelyn met the ceramicist William De Morgan, and in 5 March 1887, they married. They spent their lives together in London.  De Morgan, a pacifist, expressed her horror at the First World War and South African War in over fifteen war paintings including The Red Cross and S.O.S.

Relative to artistic pursuits, money was unimportant to the De Morgans; any profits from sales of Evelyn's paintings went toward financing William's pottery business and she actively contributed ideas to his ceramics designs.
