Stow Lake

Selma's work in visual effects and animation studios has influenced her graphic painting style. Exposure to science-fiction filmmaking and concept art formed the retro-futuristic surrealism that brings nostalgia to the present. This cross-genre freedom is emerging from technology entering our lives and disrupting. While in many ways, we are living in the future, the step back to using classic paint mediums instead of computer illustration is a nostalgic glance at longevity and physicality. Selma’s work is about the intersection of technology, the human condition, and environmentalism. The inspiration comes from learning, adapting, cooperating, and childhood gameplay.
