Prompted by a periods of personal challenge, her art became the expression of a very private healing process.  She experienced a rebirth and renewal and emerged from this experience as an accomplished, passionate painter.

Her love of art began at an early age in England, where family gifts were always created, rather than purchased, so that the true spirit of giving of one’s self was expressed.  This early practice developed into a lifetime of charitable work.  Seymour continues to give through her artwork to charities which help children in need.

Visiting museums was also a favorite family pastime.  A profound early experience which influenced Jane as a colorist was her discovery of Matisse’s stunning motifs, and Chagall’s magical palette.  Her lively studies of floral patterns were inspired by the vibrant watercolors of Raoul Dufy.  The influence of these artist continue to define her work.
