Biography
Born in Port-Margot, in northern Haiti, Seymour and his brother Jean-Baptise are descendants of the Haitian Generals of the Independence of the North - Raimond de Bottex, and his son Narcéus Bottex[1] (18th and 19th centuries).
Seymour worked as a photographer until 1955 when his older brother Jean-Baptiste encouraged him to begin painting.[2] He joined the Centre d'Art in 1961, and the Galerie Issa in Port-au-Prince in 1969.[3][4]
In the 1980s, he moved to the United States, but remained loyal to the Galerie Issa until the death of its founder in 2005.
