Jane Seymour
California Colorist
The best gift you can give to someone is a part of your soul something you have created independent any external influences Jane Seymour, Golden Globe Emmy Award winning actress, and recent OBE (Order of the British Empire) recipient, began painting nearly a decade ago.
Prompted by a period of personal challenge, her art became the expression of a very private healing process. Similar to the mythical phoenix, she experienced a rebirth and renewal. She emerged from this experience as an accomplished, passionate painter. Seymour sketches and paints at her Malibu studio, on movie sets and on her travels. She has created an intimate world of delicate watercolors and colorful vibrant oil paintings.
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 Including City Hearts Childhelp, USA; Sunrise Children's Hospital Foundation; Make-A-Wish Foundation; Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation and others.
Visiting museums as 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 artists continue to define her work.
Seymour remains challenged by studying the watercolors of John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer. She feels that watercolor is closer to the artist's hand and heart than any other medium. Having commissioned Tom Meiko, the noted Santa Barbara watercolorist, to paint a portrait of her children, Seymour became motivated to begin painting with him. As a result of that experience, she continues to paint with other artists and friends during her travels and in her studio. Inspiring others to paint, and the feeling of community it creates are abundantly rewarding.
A love of flower gardening has been a major part of Ms. Seymour's life. Growing, caring for, arranging and being surrounded by flowers has been central to her being. Art and flowers have become one in her world, and form the foundation for creative expression. A striking colorful oeuvre reveals am elegant world of floral beauty (Flowers In a Blue Jug, Hibiscus Flowers In a Blue Vase), where lush, impressive bouquets stand tall and proud (You Have to Give).
Inviting landscapes beckon the viewer to step into the vast, open countryside (Idaho). Quiet time [a reserved for meditation and healing in the gardens of St. Catherine's Court, and in the art of ikebana (Flowers In a Clear Vase, Flowers in a Blue and White Coffeepot). A testament of her genuine nurturing spirit and love of children is expressed in the loving portrayal of her children (Johnny Easter Eggs).
Jane Seymour was horn in Hillingdon, England and currently resides In Malibu, CA. She and her family also maintain an Elizabethan manor home at St. Catherine's Court, in Bath, England. She is currently working on a commission to create the set designs for "Five Poems" opening at the Houston ballet in 2001.
