TESTIMONIALS:
"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, 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, Marketing Director, Rowaton Arts Center, CT., USA
"I purchased two large and handsome photos of New York from Mme. Seton when I was re-modeling 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."
-- P.N., business owner, private collector, Paris / Lugano
"I just love looking at the lovely sea scape I bought of Mimi's, 'Mediterranean Light'; it brings me a sense of peace."
-- Jennifer Setten, Teacher, Naples, Florida, USA
"Mimi brings out the beauty in ordinary objects that is invisible to the average person."
-- Vajra Ma, Author of From a Hidden Stream: the Natural Spiritual Authority of Women
"Mimi is obviously an emissary of the Great Mother of all of creation."
--Francis Rico, healer, author of A Shaman's Guide to Deep Beauty
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Mimi was a Theatre artist and singing coach for almost 40 years, winning over a dozen awards for her original works for the stage as a writer-composer.
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, quiet life as a visual artist and textile designer.
