Connie Seabourn

Art Brokerage: Connie Seabourn American Artist: b. 1951 . Connie Seabourn grew up surrounded by nature, books, and art. Extremely shy and introverted -when she wasn’t in a tree, catching bugs and frogs or otherwise exploring/enjoying wildlife, reading or daydreaming- she was making art. Raised in a semi-developed area at the edge of Oklahoma City, Connie was the first child of young and passionate parents–her father was a painter, and her mother loved the arts, especially music and singing. Connie planned to be a beatnik painter/writer when she grew up, sometimes also wanting to be a scientist (drawing, analyzing, inventing and documenting) or a spy (whose “cover” and excuse to be a world traveler was that she was an artist). Connie’s highly personal works reflect her interests in the arts, as they also reflect what is going on in her personal life. One large influence was the birth of her only child in 1974, which swayed her art towards a lengthy period of including mothers and babies. Other life experiences and interests especially affect her art and are manifest in her thoughts, passionate feelings and explorations into love, myths, religions, spirituality, nature/animals, dreams, flying, and native peoples. Her adept handling of transparent watercolor enchants the viewer and welcomes us into her mystical, dreamy and sometimes child-like world. Very disciplined, she paints in her home studio most days.
