Since I was a young girl I have been drawn to all types of creative expression. Somewhere along my path I deviated from my heart’s true calling. I could feel myself closing down. Four years before I started the creation of the Award Winning Naked Heart Tarot (the first tarot deck I created). I was in a bad car accident. I had recurring premonitions weeks before it happened. I literally knew it was coming, I just didn’t expect it to happen, ironic, isn’t it.

My car accident injuries worsened over time. I was unable to do the active things I had previously enjoyed, unhappy and dealing with extreme anxiety, I had enough! So I prayed. I asked the Universe to “Please show me what I am meant to do for a living that would make me happy and help others”. I asked. I let go. I surrendered to the outcome. I connected to my passion. I studied spirituality, the human condition and spent time drawing. I got back to my roots. My art and interests merged. 

Unexpectedly this led me to the tarot. A dozen cards into drawing the Naked Heart and a few months in, my injuries went from bad to worse. I was on crutches, in pain and unable to use my left leg. No one knew what was wrong with me. I spent most days laying in bed drawing the cards. It quieted my mind.  

I showed a trusted friend the cards I was making. She said “Watch, you create this deck and by the time it is done, you will be healed”. Outwardly I laughed, inwardly sighed.

I prayed she was right, and she was! By the time the last card was drawn, I was walking again. The creation of the Naked Heart Tarot was the beginning of a new path for me.
