Welcome!

I’m SelkieSkins, a rope artist and educator specializing in the intricate, beautiful, and deeply expressive art of shibari. My journey began with a passion for connection, creativity, and self-expression, and has grown into a practice where every knot and line tells a story.

Based in Los Angeles, CA, you’ll find me performing in local dungeons, at decadent underground parties, and at sultry, high-energy events — tying myself and those who offer tribute for the experience.

Why Selkie?

The name Selkie comes from folklore…mythical seal-folk who shed their skins to become human, embodying transformation, freedom, and the delicate balance between connection and independence.

In my rope work, I channel that same magic: the ability to transform, to connect deeply, and to move fluidly between freedom and surrender. Let’s see what layers we can shed together.
