Selena Fara

Selena is a self-taught fine art painter. Originally from Sarasota, Florida, she relocated to southern California pursuing her artistic career where she was awarded Los Angeles' RAW Artist of the year in 2011. In 2012 Selena expanded her colorful world with a move to Brooklyn, NY, where her work was featured by the Six Summit Gallery Chelsea and the lower east side. Since settling in Austin, Selena has exhibited her art at the Romani Gallery and Big Medium. She has also enjoyed participating in the East Austin Studio Tour. Much of Selena's recent subject matter is roses, as she finds the lines of their petals fleeting in beauty; obscure yet perfectly fluid. Her work highlights the journey from their prime through decomposition. Selena's work reflects her fascination with the juxtaposition found in nature, as in life. Her current collections, Freedom and Perception, express a grace and vulnerability as she navigates her artistic inklings alongside a mother of two. Selena can often be found at her east side studio in Austin, TX or exploring the city she calls home with her husband and sons.
