Born in London on May 8th, 1905, Aimée Seyfort received almost all her professional training in art in the studios and free academies of Paris, where her family settled when she was a child, and in Dresden.
After initially exploring several other well-known Parisian art academies, she found at La Grande Chaumière, a studio in which Charles Guérin (himself a pupil of Gustave Moreau and subsequently a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts, 1875-1939) was teaching.
