TESTIMONIALS from clients:
"As a contemporary artist, Mimi Seton is brilliant and I don't use that word lightly. I love contemporary art and when I saw her work, I wished my interiors weren't complete!"
-- Michael Beckman, former interior decorator, Sacramento, CA.
"The first work of Mimi Seton's that caught my eye was rather abstract, reminding me of tissue collages which allowed me to imagine landscapes, moonscapes, seascapes. Then she began taking photos of Nature -- leaves, shadows, etc. -- which she manipulates somehow, playing bravely with colour and size. She creates a sort of trompe l'oeil which begs me to figure out what I'm really seeing at first, and on deeper viewing, become absorbed by the beauty, the feel, the wink, the second created world. I love her work."
-- Mimi Leiber, Actor, Choreographer, New York City
"About 15 years ago, I purchased a fabulous collage at the Westport Nature Art Show in CT. It's by Mimi Seton and is titled, 'Stood Up' --
a moody piece in hues of green, of a woman sitting alone in a cafe. Love it and find it immensely cheery. Why I find a woman being stood up amusing, I don’t know...perhaps because it’s so relatable.
But also it’s the genius of Mimi Seton: she packs whimsy into many
of her pieces."
-- Jeanne Taylor, former Marketing Director, Rowaton Arts Center,
CT., USA
"I purchased two large photos from Mme. Seton in 2022 when I was re-modelling my apartment in the Majestic in Nice, France. They look wonderful and a top framer in town said one of them reminded her of Man Ray's work. I feel lucky to have these pieces; Mme. Seton's work reveals a handsome sense of colour and design."
-- P.N., IT business owner, private collector, Paris / Lugano
"I just love looking at the photographic sea scape I bought of Mimi's, 'Mediterranean Light'; it brings me a sense of peace. This is my second purchase of Mimi's work, the first being an intense floral collage called, 'Blue and Orange Surprise' from a gallery in Mill Valley, Ca. That one is fun - upbeat. Mimi and I share a deep love of Nature and appreciation for the remarkable power of colour."

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Mimi was a Theatre / Music artist and singing coach for almost 40 years, winning over a dozen awards for her plays and music composition.
When injuries from a car crash made it impossible to be exposed to loud sounds (and even certain frequencies) without severe migraines and dizzy spells, she began to explore a new and quiet life as a visual artist.
Driven to "make things" since childhood, VISUAL ART-MAKING literally saved her life.
Her work ranges from the decorative to commentaries on women and our issues, both social and psychological.
GALLERIES:
A life-long coach of creative people, Mimi created a podcast on Creativity and Spirituality scheduled for release in 2024, produced by the Canadian company, Full Stereo TV.
