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 shouldn’t these discarded images get a second life? That is how I fell in love with analog collage. 


How did it all start?

Growing up, I was obssesed with 🌙 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 was HARDDD. 😩 Too pink, too childish, too violent—nothing felt quite right.

📜 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. ✂️

💫 I spent countless hours perfecting a style that 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. There’s something therapeutic about making art with my own hands.

🎥 At the same time, I got really into life quotes—the kind that just hit you right away.

That’s why I started making art that brings those two things together.

I want you to have something meaningful and relatable—not just a poster.💖

In 2022...

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

Since then, my art has been seen by Toronto Mayor, I’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 you—whether it’s anime, games, movies or cities—transforming those memories into art that sparks joy and looks amazing in your space. 💖

It's all about YOU!

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

It’s like having a piece of your past grow with you—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!
