This handcrafted linocut print is inspired by the folklore and story of the Selkie — the shapeshifting seal woman of Irish, Scottish, and Icelandic maritime folklore. This is a handcrafted linocut print inspired by the mythic tale of the Selkie—part woman, part seal—who reclaims her stolen pelt and returns to the sea. Born of Irish, Icelandic, and Scottish shores, this story carries the salt-soaked wisdom of what it means to lose yourself, and the quiet power of finding your way back to your wild home. A statement piece for those drawn to Selkie folklore, sovereignty, and the mythic feminine call of the sea.
