Background
BRIEF BIO
Mimi Seton was a multi-pronged artist
in Theatre and Music from childhood on.
As a writer-composer, her original pieces for the stage
gleaned over a dozen press awards in the U.S.
They ranged from pure aesthetic experiments
to social commentaries, often on the challenges facing
women and children trying to survive
in a patriarchal society
Mimi's focus as of early 2026
is creating designs for luxury scatter cushions, manufactured in the UK.
Please see : setonfineart.com
for PRINTS of some of these textile designs.
She currently lives in St. Leonards-on-Sea/Hastings.
Inspiration
Mimi is of European origins
with one Indian great-grandfather.
Her lifelong attraction to Indian culture
accounts for Mimi's love of deep colors,
with the complex designs are inspired by
her Swiss-French grandmother who was a master embroideress.
As a former composer,
Mimi also has a natural love of mathematics
including geometry,
and an affinity for harmonious colors
and repeating rhythmic lines.
TRIANGLES & OVALS
symbolizing the vagine and womb -- are
often pictured in her textiles,
placed within squares and rectangles --
symbolizing that our feminine essence
gives the human race both creative abundance
and a capacity for building stability.
Mimi's celebration of the DIVINE FEMININE
is a feature often remarked on
by those who love her art.

Combining the flowing improvisations of Nature
with simple geometry,

"mysterious worlds"
"a cross between math and mysticism".
