First during a phenomenal exhibition of her artwork creations at a special exhibit at Simic Galleries in old town Scottsdale, Arizona around 2003. She was unusually talented in painting still lives that brought her and others joy. I felt inspired by her work and approached her to an interview.
She obliged and shared with me the contact information of her publicist in the LA area. As a reporter and regular columnist contributor to the Scottsdale Times, I knew my editor would be interested.
When I interviewed her, she revealed how painting was something she took up during an especially challenging financial period of her life resulting from a divorce. She painted in between filming as well, and her work caught the eye of the film crew. Her work caught wind and eventually she was approached by major labels to feature her work, e.g. Discover Card, and other cosmetic companies.
This interview was eventually published in the Dream Network, (Vol. 24 No. 4 & Vol 25. No 1), Interestingly the editors published this interview, because Seymour reported having a near death experience on the Larry King Show, May 23, 2005. Click here for further details about her amazing experience.
The near death experience is indirectly related to dreams because it occurs in a state of consciousness related to the dream state but surpassing it.
I found Ms. Seymour to be classy, sophisticated, and gracious in the way she carried herself. I respect her humanitarian efforts and her public encouragement of "green" values. In fact, Jane mentioned that she was recognized by the Queen and received a title comparable to knighthood.
