Background
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 on the challenges facing
women and children.
Mimi's focus as of early 2026 is creating designs for luxury level scatter cushions, manufactured in the UK.
She currently lives in St. Leonards-on-Sea/Hastings.

Inspiration
Mimi is of European origins
with one Indian great-grandfather.
The Brits and Celts have been writers,
editors and scholars,
while several fine craftspeople
have emerged from the French and Italian side.
Her life-long attraction to Indian culture
accounts for Mimi's love of deep colors,
while her soft palettes are inspired by her
grandmother, a master embroiderer
whose tapestries filled her childhood home.
As a former composer,
Mimi has a natural love of mathematics
including geometry
and an affinity for harmony, rhythm,
and repeating patterns.
TRIANGLES & OVALS
symbolizing the vagine and womb --
often pictured within squares and rectangles --
suggest it is our feminine essence
that gives the human race stability.
Mimi's celebration of the DIVINE FEMININE
is a feature often remarked on by those
who love the sensuality of her art.

TECHNIQUES
Seton builds designs from her drawings, doodles, paintings and photos, mostly of plants.
She sometimes color-enhances and collages them digitally to create abstracts where the original element is no longer strictly identifiable,
but rather, has left a feeling of itself behind,
almost like a ghost.
Combining the flowing forms in nature with the harder, regular shapes of geometry, her designs
have been called:
"gorgeous hallucinations"
"mysterious"
and: "a cross between math and mysticism".
