Selkie of the Sea – Celtic Mythology Art Print

The legend of the selkie comes from the old coastal stories of Ireland and Scotland — shapeshifters who live as seals in the sea but shed their skin to walk as humans on land.

This striking black and white artwork captures that moment of transformation. A selkie woman stands with the waves behind her, seal skin in hand, caught between two worlds. The print has a timeless, woodcut feel, rich in texture and movement. It's bold but not overpowering, making it a lovely touch for any space where you want something meaningful and a bit mythical.

We love this in hallways, reading corners, or beside a bookcase. It brings a sense of story — something that invites people to ask, “What’s the tale behind that?” The monochrome style works well with both cosy and contemporary decor.

Whether you're drawn to Irish folklore or just love art with depth and character, this piece is full of quiet power. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone connected to the sea, or with roots in Celtic culture.

Part of our Celtic Mythology Collection, this print is made to order in Ireland and available framed or unframed.
