The cards in my "Tarot of the Masters" deck were inspired by classic paintings by old masters, such as Rembrandt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Bouguereau, Rubens, and Hieronymus Bosch.

In preparation for creating this deck, I perused hundreds of paintings (and quite a few statues as well) in order to find works of art that would suit the 78 cards of the Tarot. The classic works of art that I found in this process then inspired my own illustrations for the cards.

This deck is now available. To get more information about it or to order a copy of it, contact me.
