Working only from life, still life painter Claudia Seymour has found her perfect niche. “My focus is the light-filled interaction between objects, their colors, highlights and shadows, and the ambiance created by their surroundings,” she says. The artist uses flowers and fruits, antiques and vintage textiles, as well as manmade and found objects in her set-ups. “I love being a studio painter,” she says, “as it gives me total control over what I portray.”

Having lived all over the United States and in England, Seymour’s exposure to and interest in art have been a life-long affair. She and her husband collected paintings from wherever they lived and traveled long before she became a painter. Now her paintings are a “personal expression of a lifelong fascination with the visual effects of color as revealed by the play of light across a tableau.”
