Hi there, I am Selina, the founder of Clever Clippings!

Chartered Accountant to Collage Artist

I knew what I loved at a very early age, but in my family, I was not free to choose what I loved. After working in the financial industries, carrying hopes and dreams of my lineage in a foreign country, my heart still held a passion for art. After 10 years, I decided to follow my heart. NOW, I can proudly say that I am an award-winning artist.

If we all deserve a second chance, why shouldnโ€™t these discarded images get a second life? That is how I fell in love with analog collage.ย 

"Let all that you do be done in love."

How did it all start?

Growing up, I was obssesed with ๐ŸŒ™ Sailormoon, Studio Ghibli etc. I connect deeply with certain characters. And honestly? That never really changed!

But finding nerdy art that doesn't look like a dorm room poster wasย HARDDD.ย ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Too pink, too childish, too violentโ€”nothing felt quite right.

๐Ÿ“œ In 2018, I began my creative journey by using scissors and X-Acto knife, cutting tiny pieces of paper from ripped posters, old calendars, and flyers from my mailbox, and transforming them into collages. In handcut collage, I found my voice. โœ‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ซ I spent countless hours perfecting a style thatย elevates our favourite childhood memories. I want it to be art that the more you look, the more you see.

When Art Becomes Therapy

When I was diagnosed with depressive symptoms, I found comfort in creating collages based on my favourite fandoms. Thereโ€™s something therapeutic about making art with my own hands.

๐ŸŽฅ At the same time, I got really into life quotesโ€”the kind that just hit you right away.

Thatโ€™s why I started making art that brings those two things together.

I want you to have something meaningful and relatableโ€”not just a poster.๐Ÿ’–

In 2022...

...I took the leap of faith and left the corporate world behind.

Since then, my art has been seen by Toronto Mayor, Iโ€™ve been featured on TV, in magazines, on podcasts, and have been selected as one of the top emerging artists.

But my goal is simple: to help you reconnect with the things that shaped youโ€”whether itโ€™s anime, games, movies or citiesโ€”transforming those memories into art that sparks joy and looks amazing in your space. ๐Ÿ’–

It's all about YOU!

When you look at my art, youโ€™re reconnecting with the things that made you smile.

Itโ€™s like having a piece of your past grow with youโ€”transforming into something beautiful and meaningful for your space.

It is art that you, your family and friends will all say YES to.

I am so excited that you're here on this journey with me!

Let's make your home as fun as you are!
