Illustrator, Painter, Designer & Creator
Welcome! I’m an artist inspired by cycles in nature, bodies, queerness, psychology, and the beauty of my dual hometowns, Seattle and Los Angeles. I mostly live in the PNW with my wife Schquay, pup Bonni, and birds RuPaul and Julia Roberts.
Dark Days Tarot, the first deck I published on Kickstarter, was inspired by the shadowy last days of the lunar cycle, a typical time for reflection, and deepened intuitive knowledge. It's designed for those with wide emotional ranges, and anyone who feels a strong connection to the moon and tides.
Did you know that the moon is the ruler of the mind as well as emotions? Within the container of a Tarot card reading, I’m able to think broadly and truly honor my feelings. The ritual of reading cards creates a safe space for my mind to heal and contextualize information. It seemed only wise to create a Tarot deck as a tribute to the wisdom and healing that darkness offers.
In 2021 I released my second deck, the Mother Tarot. It's about Earth, birth, and creativity. It took three years to illustrate it, and during the time of its creation, I and my partner pondered the possibility of children. We continue to do so.
Both of my decks together come together to in part reflect my bipolar mind, which ultimately puts me in touch with my own cyclical nature.
Please enjoy my blog, which features articles about Tarot card reading to help you if you need help.
I hope my art helps to expand your intuition, dive into reflection, spark your creativity, and adapt to the tides of life.
