EVELINE
HASTINGS was born in Highgate, London to a
family of sculptors. Her early life was disrupted
first by the death of her father in 1938 and
then by WW2. She wanted to paint from an early
age and left school at 16 to go to the Wimbledon
School of Art. From there she was offered
places at the Royal College of Art and at
the Slade School of Fine Art, she chose the
latter, where she was taught by, amongst others,
William Coldstream, Claude Rogers and Lucian
Freud. In 1956 she took a postgraduate year
and entered paintings for the Rome Scholarships.
After a career working in Adult Education
in London and continuing to paint (often in
East Anglia), she moved there permanently
in 2000.
