Geneviève Seillé was born in France in 1951, and began work as a primary school teacher in 1969 while at the same time following a University Psychology course at Toulouse.

In 1974 Seillé  took up residence in England working as an assistant French teacher. In 1976 she enrolled on a Fine Art course with the intention of becoming a teacher. After two preparatory years at Stafford College of Further Education she was accepted at Wolverhampton Polytechnic and graduated in 1981. After graduating she decided to suspend activities in the domain of art education, and instead gave private French tuition which enabled her to continue her artistic activities.
Seillé has participated in numerous exhibitions, starting with her first group show in 1986. Since 1989 she has had 10 solo exhibitions in Britain, Europe and America. These include three solo shows (accompanied by illustrated catalogues) at England & Co Gallery in London, where her work is available to view and purchase.  

Between 1980 and 1986 Seillé  produced a series of artistic performances, mostly in the Arena Theatre in Wolverhampton. She has also directed numerous workshops for adults and children. In 1993 she stopped her freelance teaching. She lives with a Jazz musician.
