Serina Serjama (Scenic Artist) is pleased to be working with Shakespeare On Tour again. She has created the visual artistry on stages for many companies in the Bay Area, Santa Barbara, Montana and Washington for about 10 years. She studied the Fine Arts independently in Europe & Asia for eight years and worked successfully as a muralist and freelance artist in Portland. The sets she created have won numerous awards, and her skills in Trompe l'Oeil have had seasoned directors and critics fooled, thinking that drops were 3D, backlit canvases were projections, or that wood-floors or marble were real materials (Sound of Music, Contra Costa Community Theater; Our House, SFO Playhouse; Magic Flute, West Bay Opera; Romeo & Juliet, San Jose Opera). She is currently working on projects throughout the year for San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, San Jose Opera, Festival Opera and Santa Barbara Opera, as well as private commissions and murals all over the west coast.
