Limited Edition Giclée Print – "Puffin Island" (Atlantic Puffins)
Artwork by Sophie Parkhill | SP Wildlife Art
 
"Puffin Island" is a vibrant and heartfelt tribute to Ynys Seiriol — the Welsh island more commonly known as Puffin Island — once teeming with thousands of Atlantic Puffins.
 
In this playful coastal scene, Sophie Parkhill brings to life a lively gathering of puffins: some perched on the rocky cliff edge, others mid-flight with wings outstretched, and a few peering down from craggy ledges at their companions below with comic curiosity.
 
Composed from several reference images, this painting recreates the joyful chaos and companionship that defined the island’s once-thriving puffin colony. Though sadly diminished, the population has been slowly recovering over the past decade — a hopeful note beneath this nostalgic scene.
 
Professionally reproduced as a giclée on Hahnemühle Bamboo 290gsm eco fine art paper, each print captures the softness and detail of the original pastel painting. The natural texture of the paper enhances the movement, light, and personality of these beloved seabirds.
