Seymour began painting nearly a decade ago, prompted by a period of personal challenge, her art became the expression of a very private healing process. She emerged from this experience as an accomplished, passionate painter. Today, Seymour sketches and paints at her Malibu studio, on movie sets and on her travels. Over the past sixteen years she has created an intimate world of delicate watercolors and colorful vibrant oil paintings, and has accepted select private commissions. Her artwork will be unveiled for the first time in Sedona on Friday, November 7 from 5 – 8 p.m. at El Prado by the Creek.

Most importantly, Seymour continues to raise much needed funds and gives through donations of her artwork to numerous local and national charities which help children in need, raise awareness for women’s heart health and various other important issues dear to her heart. Her appearances at El Prado Gallery during Red Rock Canvas will benefit Sedona’s Camp Soaring Eagle. Camp Soaring Eagle provides life-changing experiences to children whose daily struggles due to serious illness often diminish both their desire to be well and their ability to lead rich, productive lives. Many of these children suffering from chronic life–threatening conditions have never had the opportunity to attend camp.

As the official spokesperson for Camp Soaring Eagle, Seymour states that she’s inspired to help raise awareness of the charity and “to insure that thousands of children can discover the healing power of laughter in spectacular Sedona, Arizona.”
