The Ephemeral Tarot: Tarot Deck and Guidebook
As a young artist in my early teens, I discovered Tarot cards. Their mystery, and symbolic meanings captivated my imagination. I made a promise to myself that I would one day create a Tarot deck of my own. I am here many years later, at the age of 50, to finally share with you “The Ephemeral Tarot.” This self-published deck is made entirely through the medium of collage, allowing for chance, synchronicity, and intuition to find their way into my illustrations. I am always amazed when the characters of The Tarot emerge, as if by magic, from my collection of paper ephemera. The 78 cards, along with the guidebook took nearly four years and an estimated several thousand hours to create.

Artist's Statement
Through the process of making prints, drawings, artist’s books and mixed-media work, I express wonder at the connections between human life and the natural world, order within chaos, and the sublime mysteries that lie within the mundane. The subject matter in my work arrives from the process of collecting. In poring over old magazines, sifting through jars of buttons, arranging stacks of sepia and black-and-white photographs, and collecting bug-eaten leaves, four-leaf clovers and cicada wings that I find on daily walks, I arrive at the images and textures that move me to make something more of them than they could be on their own. Arranging them within my work reminds me that I am a part of something familiar and cyclical that would otherwise seem vast and unknowable.
