Selkie Stone Exhibition at Hopetoun House
We’re delighted to welcome back Selkie Stone for her second exhibition at Hopetoun House.
The Silent Kingdom is a visual celebration of nature, folklore and the search for joy. Through painting and writing, the exhibition explores our relationship with the natural world as a source of resilience, wonder and imagination. From swirling skies to deep green forests, the work evokes a magical realism inspired by Scotland’s wild landscapes and rich storytelling traditions.
An Edinburgh-based painter and poet, Selkie Stone draws inspiration from Gothic literature, local folklore and the delicate balance between light and dark. Raised in the Lake District and now living in Scotland, she spends much of her time exploring mountains and coastlines, gathering inspiration and weaving tales of unicorns, giants and myth into her work.
