Sera Waters is a South Australian based artist. Her practice merges embroidery with other hand-crafting skills to create soft sculptural and often wall-based art.

Overall her practice is one which explores modes of making requiring long periods of time, meditative states of repetition, applications of pattern, as well as a penchant for meticulousness. After undertaking a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) at University of South Australia, then a Masters of Art History at University of Adelaide, in 2006 she was awarded a scholarship to train for a short period at the Royal School of Needlework. 

As an artist in residence at the ATW, Sera developed a new body of work that amalgamated canvas work and embroidery (on linen and other grounds) into irregularly shaped wall hangings. Driving these experimentations was the intention to make connections between specific people, places (landscapes) and stories of her family history research.
