Artist Bio: Selina Lee is a non-binary, second-generation Korean American visual artist based & born in the foggy magic of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Their work shape shifts across painting, illustration, and up-cycling (mostly rice bags!) into bold, offbeat statement pieces that flirt with fashion, fantasy, and folklore.

Selina’s practice is rooted in joy, play, and a love of the beautifully strange. Through dreamlike visuals and reimagined traditions, they invite viewers to celebrate the weird, and to make art as an act of resistance and self-care.
