Selina Woodham is a Japanese-British wildlife and landscape artist based in Northern California. 

Selina’s childhood in rural Japan awakened her love for nature - where tranquil lakes, sentinel mountains and abundant wildlife filled her with both wonder and solace.

Her appreciation for the natural world grew stronger through childhood travels to remote corners of the world. From the vast steppes of Mongolia where she lived for days without electricity, to the breathtaking fjords of New Zealand where she became fascinated with endemic animals, Selina’s travels ignited a passion for remote landscapes and the animals that inhabit them.

Selina discovered painting in high school and received the Excellence in International Baccalaureate Art Award. After many years away from the easel, she recently returned to painting upon completing her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2022.

Selina’s current body of work is dedicated to raising awareness for vulnerable species. She was recently selected as a Finalist in the Sketch for Survival 2023 global art competition, with her piece exhibited in prestigious galleries in Scotland and London. The sale of her artwork helped fund vital conservation projects in Africa and Peru through Explorers Against Extinction. In 2024, Selina made her debut at the Palo Alto Festival of the Arts, which was a great success. She sold nearly all her pieces, including 10 originals, and was able to donate 10% of the proceeds to the Great Plains Initiative's Big Cats Foundation.

When Selina is not caring for her patients, she can be found painting, hiking, and most likely eating!
