Evetts was born and trained in England.[1] She attended the Brighton College of Art and the Central School of Arts and Crafts. She relocated to the United States in 1967, and became an American citizen in 1973.[1]

She taught bookbinding classes for several years at St. Crispins’ Bindery in New York before becoming a book conservator at the Morgan Library in 1969, a position which she held for several decades.[1] She is now an independent conservation consultant.[2]
