Our Story

​The SKETA OZ Group is a multi-level, branded business group that engages in the following industries: The Arts, Design, Publishing, Education, Health & Wellness.  

Presently, under its umbrella is: Sketa Oz Design; ELK Publishing; Sketa Oz Philanthropy and of course - 'Sketa' as an author, illustrator, entertainer and entrepreneur.

The term Sketa was aquired many moons ago when Selina's grandfather, endearingly likened her to that of a buzzing mosquito - due to a severe, excess of energy.  Over the years, the nom de plume stuck and Selina began using it to sign off on all her artistic endeavours.

Today SKETA, with the accompanying term OZ has grown into an all encompassing brand that says everything about Selina - from staying true to her family roots to building unique, Australia businesses.
