The Sketa Oz Story

The SKETA OZ Group is the hub of all things 'Sketa Oz'.  

What are we?
We are multi-level, branded business group that engages in the following industries: The Arts, Design, Publishing and Education.  Presently under our umbrella is: Sketa Oz Design; ELK Publishing; Sketa Oz Philanthropy and of course - 'Sketa' who is an author, illustrator, entertainer and entrepreneur.

Where did the term 'Sketa' come from?
Sketa was acquired 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. 

               It is also an acronym for her early developments in the business world:
             S elina K ucks E ntertainment, T heatre and the A rts

Who are we today?
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 and nurturing unique Sketa Oz businesses.
