Kimmy McHarrie, a native of Castletown, has dedicated her life to capturing the essence of nature through her intricate artwork.
Inspired by her deep-rooted connection to the sea and fuelled by a passion for conservation, Kimmy’s creations serve as a poignant reminder of the fragile beauty that surrounds us.
The Marine Mosaics collection features six stamps, each showcasing a unique selection of fish species native to the waters of the Isle of Man.
From the humble Herring, affectionately known as Skeddan in Manx, to the majestic Braddan – Salmon, Kimmy’s mosaics pay homage to the rich maritime heritage of the Island.
