Mimi Seton spent much of her childhood in a progressive boarding school on an organic farm in the Adirondacks. 60 students and 20 teachers functioned much like an indigenous tribe: self-sufficient and socially egalitarian.
Each child was encouraged to unfold according to her individual gifts, no one deemed better than another.
Growing up in this way preserved Mimi’s creativity, sense of connection to life, and curiosity about the world.
Turning to Visual Art after decades as a writer-composer, Mimi shape-shifts through a range of styles and intentions, from sensual celebrations of pure aesthetics to commentaries on the tragic costs of predatory Capitalism, Patriarchy and Climate Imbalance.
Her work is usually non-representational, her process improvisational.
“I like to quiet my mind, relinquish conscious control, then allow my hand to make a mark on the canvas or paper — a splash of color, a line, or shape. I may then see a whole picture emerge out of that simple beginning, or I may add a second mark, then contemplate the two asking where are they leading — what do they want to say. The process is personal and private.”

pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon where people perceive a meaningful image in a random visual pattern (like cloud formations). It’s not a mental disorder, but rather, a natural impulse of the brain to recognize patterns.

Sea-Fever
By John Mansfield
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

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 handsome, large photos of New York from Mme. Seton when I was re-modeling my apartment in the Majestic in Nice, France. They look wonderful. 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 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 a deeply feminine emissary of the Mother of All Creation. To say she is gifted is an understatement.”
--Francis Rico, healer, author of A Shaman’s Guide to Deep Beauty" (RIP Francis Rico - Oct. 14, 2025)
