Book Overview

Impressions of Paris: An Artist’s Sketchbook is divided into four chapters: Color, Pattern, Perspective, and Rhythm. The contents include visits to Berthillon, Canal Saint-Martin, the Medici Fountain, Ladurée, Sennelier, Goyard, the Jardin du Palais Royal, and the Eiffel Tower, among other locations. Seto’s observations move from storefronts and patisseries to museums, parks, and scenes from city life.

Cat Seto describes the book as a personal record of her creative renewal as an artist and designer. The dedication reads for the City of Light and for Nolan, and a portrait of her mother in the botanical gardens is credited to Nolan Chu.
