Selina Jorgensen: Artist Profile

About The Artist

Introduced to painting as a child, Selina has explored her visual passion through a variety of mediums and materials. Currently, her choice of technique combines traditional screen printing methods with abstracted subject matter inspired by organic and oceanic forms. The completed paintings are an expression of the artist’s interest in the unique west-coast environment and the fragile ecosystems that surround us.

Maintaining a diverse portfolio, Selina regularly works with watercolours and acrylics in addition to an assortment of drawing materials. Projects on the horizon include book illustrations and a new series of paintings.

As an active artist, Selina’s work is now part of several private collections and she has been exhibiting on Vancouver Island since 1999.
