Ms. Seltzer's works are realistic constructions which are sometimes serial in nature. These collages and photomontages are influenced by the artist's childhood, therefore , they are somewhat nostalgic, but are not sentimentalized. Each image has a dose of hard reality for example a depiction of the young artist dancing is superimposed upon the checks her father wrote for her lessons.
