ABOUT
THE ARTIST
 Elizabeth
Seymour, an exhibiting artist in Marin County, is drawn towards
figurative work in the forms of sculpture, charcoal drawings, and
painting with pastels. At the turn of the millennium, she began
deepening her knowledge through studies at both College of Marin
and Indian Valley Campus.
Her deep intuitive knowing of the figure comes from personal experience
of working on thousands of bodies in her private practice as a Holistic
Health Facilitator since 1989. She combines Conscious Bodywork with
a facilitation of deeper healing between the physical body, the
mental body, the emotional body, and Spirit.
For this artist, being able to feel the form through touch feels
like a natural expression through the mediums of clay, charcoal,
and pastel. The many choices of color are extensions of the feelings
being expressed by the model interacting with the artists experience
of how to convey those feelings. The sensuous flow of lines, the
spaces those lines create, the edge of form -- both inner and outer,
the accentuation of light, and the colors are always a sensory delight
celebrating the human figure.
Autumn 2003 finds Elizabeth marble sculpting in Italy. She will
be working with some of the last great Pietrasanta master artisans
in a setting where stone carving has been a way of life for centuries.
For this artist, the process feels like life; chipping away the
layers allows the liberation of essence from the confines of the
outer shell thus revealing the true self.
Elizabeth believes it is the human condition to want to see some
aspect of self reflected back to us from another, in order to be
seen and to know ourselves. If a work of Art or a Sculpting stirs
something inside you, she believes this awakening is one of the
great gifts of Art. Be it beauty of form, a color, some emotion
that is evoked which feels uplifting or uncomfortable... this artist
wants to know what moves you, what speaks to you, and why.
