Welcome to The Seaside Selkie Studio

Life is hard enough. I believe we live to dream, so I work to bring those dreams to the forefront. Personally, I’ve been through a lot in life-which has left me looking for the magic around me, looking for an escape. As an artist, I strive to bring that magic front-and-center with my pieces. Using imagination to travel to places I’d love to go, or letting my mind wander, wondering: ‘what if’?

As a kid, my grandma would tell me about the wonders of growing up in Ireland., describing all the wonderful things the faerie folk would get up to. She told me about the Selkies, and their love of the sea, especially. Beings who could decide where they wanted to be, in the sea as seals or on land in the guise of a human. The stories always gave me hope that I could choose my own destiny, like the selkie. As an artist in the Pacific Northwest, I decided this Irish descendant would take the freedom of the Selkie, and choose.

With Graphic Design, I like to tell a story. Through my many years of study and experience, I have learned to use colors and design to
I’ve had the pleasure to work with local and national companies. Doing so, I was able to learn about working with different brands, and their own guidelines. I was pushed to create things using those guidelines, but putting my own spin on things.

So take a look at my portfolio and let me know how I can help you. Or take a look at our art to add that bit of ‘what if’, you’ve been searching for.

I am Jenn-the artist.

This is Crixus-the Seaside Selkie Studio Manager.

All the art done here, is done with whimsy, wonder, and purpose. And probably a good deal of catitude.
