Current Project

Italian Renaissance Tarot Deck

Currently in progress! I am creating a deck of 78 unique handcrafted, illuminated cards in the tradition of the finest extant luxury decks of the Italian Renaissance. 

Tarot Tuesdays! Join me on this exciting journey, using Cennini as a guide and discovering how these ornate miniature works of art might have been made in the 15th Century. New progress videos post on YouTube every Tuesday.
