Selma Burke began playing with clay around the age of seven. And with that experience, she discovered a love of making sculptures. “It was there in 1907 that I discovered me,” she said, looking back.

While Selma loved art, her mother encouraged Selma to pursue a financially stable career. So Selma studied nursing and took a job as a private nurse in New York City in the late 1920s.

But in New York City, Selma found much inspiration from the Harlem Renaissance scene. She found a community of artists and began making art a more significant part of life.

To improve her skills, Selma began taking art classes at Sarah Lawrence College. She then traveled to Europe for training and projects. In 1941, Selma earned an MFA from Columbia. And the year prior, while still a student herself, she opened the Selma Burke School of Sculpture.

Selma dedicated herself to teaching and making art. She would go on to create sculptures of numerous famous figures, including Duke Ellington and Martin Luther King Jr. However, her most famous work was a portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. That portrait hangs today at the Recorder of Deeds Building in Washington, D.C.

Cryptid of the Day: Selma

Description: It all began in 1750, when a fisherman claimed to have been attacked by a “sea horse” out on Lake Seljord, Norway. Thus, the legend of Selma was born, though the monster’s popularity didn’t peak until the 20th century. Several expeditions have used sonar to find evidence of it

Sımsıkı sarılmamız gereken konular var adam. Yüreğim hasret ateşi ile yanıyor. Ağlamalar yetmiyor. Kavuşmak şifa olacak ruhuma.

Selma (she/her) is a sophont leopard seal whose lineage is rooted in genetic modification. She has mixed DNA, including human and bear. She is sarcastic, bold, and sometimes blunt, but cares deeply about her students at ESSE.

More info under the cut!

Selma is 28 years old and has had to undergo countless surgeries throughout her life. The unethical experimentation which her ancestors experienced has caused her to develop chronic pain, as well as heart and joint issues. Her unconventional bauplan is a primary factor.

She was born on Hanidias, into a care facility made specifically for GM individuals. An overwhelmingly high percentage of the residents were victims of Genizix. Selma's expected lifespan is 60-65 years, considered a rare and lucky case by her doctors. Most other Earth experiments had a maximum lifespan of 30.

She was raised by a post-human nurse who worked as a spacecraft intelligence for an emergency medical craft - this sparked her love of piloting. Selma was discharged from the facility at 19 years, although she has to return frequently for checkups.

She now works on Kilra at Elvoir's School of Space Exploration, teaching spaceflight classes. After finding Vreaz, she offered to pay for his tuition. In return, Vreaz helps her out in the workshop after school.

Besides piloting, Selma enjoys fashion, cafes, and making reckless decisions.

Selma Area Food Bank

My hometown of Selma, AL was devastated by an F3 tornado yesterday. Many in the community have nowhere to go and nothing to eat.

Please consider donating to the local food bank to support them during this unprecedented time.
