Selina Woodham is a Japanese-British wildlife artist whose acrylic paintings are distinguished by fine detail and dramatic contrast. She was a Finalist for the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation Wildlife Artist of the Year in both 2025 and 2026, with her work exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London. She is also a Signature Member of Artists for Conservation and has had multiple works selected for the Artists for Conservation International Exhibit in 2026. Earlier recognition includes being named a 2023 Finalist for Sketch for Survival, with her piece exhibited at Dundas Street Gallery in Edinburgh and at London’s Oxo Tower. Based in the United States, she also exhibits annually at a leading juried fine art festival in California.

Raised in rural Japan, her love for nature grew from an early age and was further strengthened during childhood travels to remote corners of the world. After earning her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2022, Selina returned to painting with renewed focus, and her originals and limited-edition prints are now held by collectors worldwide. She hopes to continue using her art to inspire awareness and contribute to the protection of wildlife.

Support for Conservation

Selina intentionally chooses to participate in prestigious, juried art competitions that dedicate a significant portion of proceeds to conservation. At events such as Wildlife Artist of the Year, Sketch for Survival, and Artists for Conservation, between 50–100% of her artwork sales have directly supported vital conservation projects worldwide.

At her annual exhibitions in California, she donates a minimum of 10% of every sale to nonprofit organizations. Past beneficiaries have included the Great Plains Foundation and the Wildlife Conservation Network, reflecting her ongoing commitment to ensuring her art contributes to the protection of wildlife and wild places.
