“Seidl's abiding strengths: her sureness of touch and scale, her sense of movement and color, the unforced grace of her execution, and her unwavering commitment to the abstract endeavor.”
- Lily Wei, Art in America, January 1997

This noted abstract expressionist first studied at the Sir John Cass College of Art in London and later at Syracuse University and Hunter College, New York. Seidl has exhibited widely and with success since 1975, including at the Soho Center for Visual Arts, the Stephen Rosenberg Gallery and Roseberg + Kaufman Fine Art, New York. Her work is held in the permanent collections of museums throughout the United States, including the Aldrich Museum, Connecticut and the Portland Museum of Art, Maine.
