Artist Bio: Selina Lee is a non-binary, queer, second-generation Korean American artist conjuring surreal realities out of the foggy magic of the San Francisco Bay Area. Their work shape shifts across painting, illustration, and textiles—often remixing found and up-cycled materials (yes, including 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 question the “normal,” celebrate the weird, and remember that making art is an act of resistance.
