Janine Skelly's artwork featured in new stamp collection celebrates the charm of the Isle of Man's harbours

Isle of Man Post Office has unveiled a new collection of stamps featuring original artwork by artist Janine Skelly. The six designs depict the Island’s harbours, showcasing local charm and beauty.

Skelly, a self-taught Manx artist, uses acrylics to express her love for the Isle of Man. "I am thrilled to create artworks for this stamp issue," she said. "It's an incredible honour to showcase my work."

The collection features Casltetown, Douglas, Laxey, Peel, Port St Mary, and Ramsey harbours. Each piece captures unique landmarks and reflects the vibrant atmosphere of these communities.

Maxine Cannon, General Manager of Stamps and Coins at Isle of Man Post Office, noted, "Janine’s style beautifully captures the Island’s coastal heritage."

The stamps will be launched on 24th April 2025, with an event at Villa Marina Arcade on 17th April. A Set, First Day Cover, and Presentation Pack will be available.
