Tierney's Delight, May 2012 - color pencil

This deck features very brightly colored cartoonish owls who find themselves contemplating how the tarot relates and influences their everyday lives. The artwork in this deck is appropiate for any age and has lines of humor and reflects upon various aspects in life.  I decided to create this as a slightly larger format - 5 1/4 by 2 5/8 with 50 editions being available.  Please visit my Shop On Line under the Limited Edition to purchase.

Awaken, January 2012, Mulberry paper, watercolor and color pencil

This deck is a follow up to Awareness created in 2011.  With the turning of a new year and eyes wide open, one steps into 2012 and ready for the new year of self discovery, personal growth and love of the journey that is laid out before them as the basis of this deck.

Pieces of Tarot, October 2011. 

Pieces of Tarot captures those moments leading up to, the time of and the immediate time after the rug is literally ripped right out from underneath your very feet bringing down the world around you with it and back to the foundation to rebuild anew.  Let the Journey begin!

Grimmy's Transitional Arcana, July 2011  Taking another look at death and when our soul is in transition from one plane to the other, what might it be like?  Personally, I'm hoping something comical comes out of all this and it's a happy transition.  My step-father who was diagnosed with cancer last November has one chemo session left, then he is going in for surgery a second time.  He likes to keep quiet about such things, so only my worried mind can run rampant and Grimmy and his friends resurface.  For more information and blogging on the specific cards, please visit www.bethseilonen.wordpress.com - thanks!

Raven's Window - Limited edition of 50 - May 2011  Raven's Window began as an image I had recently seen in a dream, in which aTarotArt/Ravecollection.jpg Raven had shapeshifted to have a more humanistic face. 

A co-worker of mine commented that it resembled "Krahe" the Celtic Raven Goddess/God when he saw my sketched out image.  Then once at the airport, heading to New York City for the Reader's Studio 2011 to sell my decks, Raven's Window took flight. 

Winter and The Crow

TarotArt/WinterandtheCrowemailing.jpg    

This winter has been especially off the charts snowy with upwards of three storms a week hitting New England and all I can think of is Winter snubbing her nose at us for creating greenhouse gas which in turn contributes to our global warming trend (two years ago it was 55 degrees the first week of January with green grass -  no snow at all!) and thus the storms have more warmer water to pull energy from and become that much more dangerous as they grow.   At least, this is how I explain our recent catastrophic storms we have seen in recent years.  Winter is definately showing who is boss this year - and it's not us!

This is going to be a limited edition deck of only 20.  If you wish to have a larger sized deck, please contact me ASAP as I will be printing this deck on February 12 and ready to be sent by February 15 with the options of two sizes - first is my standard size 4 by 2 5/8, the second is a larger size of 5.5 by 4 inches (handmade box). 

Pumpkin Jack Arcana, October 2010

After designing Pumpkin Jack three years ago and using him as part of an art lesson for four year olds, he literally came tumbling out of my hands one night after we had been having pumpkin seeds and pumpkin coffee cake - and our pumpkin still sits without a face!

White Bat Tarot, August 2010 - full length deck inspired by the BATS (Bay Area Tarot Symposium) in San Francisco, August 2010.  A very limited edition of only 25 decks featuring White Egyptian Fruit Bats in Pamela Coleman undertones. TarotArt/2010_White_Bat_Internet_Sample_2.jpg

Blue Dart Frog Arcana:  The Life of Balthazar, July 2010.  This is a 22 print collection of watercolor paintings which have been laminated, cut to card size and corners curved, Limited edition of 50. 
The inspiration for this deck came about after my mother had sent me an email forward in which a guardian angel, posed as a pastor, visited a woman in the hospital and left her a frog.  My youngest daughter came over to me "Oh, Mom, you remember when you did those frogs, you ought to do that one."  As she pointed out an animated frog with it's tongue going after a fly and it's eye's springing from it's head. 
It was at this time I also recalled a post that Adam McLean had done on my "Froggy Arcana" which was a one-of-a-kind deck, in that someday he had hoped I would consider making a frog deck and printing it.  Granted, the humor in the "Froggy Arcana"was priceless, but this deck brings together vibrant colors and life as seen through the eyes of Balthazar, the wise frog.  May we all learn from him!
