About The Artist

A Story Told In Symbols

I have been fascinated with the symbols of the Tarot for over forty years. The cards have been trusted companions whose advice I have taken to heart every day. I have found that the Tarot offers eternal wisdom in pictorial form and can offer deep insight into daily challenges.

A few years ago I decided to explore psychological interpretations of the Waite-Smith deck and wrote a book entitled Tarot Insights. I’ve also created many mixed-media collage decks over the years including Victorian, surreal, and steampunk designs. Many of these earlier works can be found in Stuart Kaplan’s The Encyclopedia of Tarot Volume 4.

For the last few years, I have been designing Major Arcana Tarot cards using beautiful costume jewelry.

The sparkling jewelry was a perfect medium for the glitz of the Art Deco period, so I decided to create several art deco Tarots.

Whimsical-themed decks such as The Fairytale and Wonderland Tarots soon followed. I’ve also artistically explored circus, fantasy, and Far Eastern themes using jewelry.

My art has also become three-dimensional in the creation of tarot art boxes.

These are mixed media assemblages which feature miniature statues or trinket boxes creating a sense of geometric order to the cards.

Framing within the boxes' confined space gives the Tarot a new dimension. The largest of the pieces (The Trinket Box Tarot) measures 30x30.

My decks are not commercially available. However, some of my Tarot decks are on display at the Museo Dei Tarocchi in Riola Italy.

It is my hope that you enjoy the images presented and that they brighten your day.
