Art, Tarot and more

On this site, you can find everything from handmade Tarot decks to handwritten letters by Simone de Beauvoir... more

• The story of how, as a postgraduate student, I corresponded with the great writer Simone de Beauvoir, and was heartbreakingly close to meeting her: my appointment with her was on the very day in 1986 that she was taken ill with her final illness.


• All my artwork, arranged by year and theme: from Brexit to Bird People. All these paintings are available as prints and greetings cards.


• You can also buy products such as earrings and flip-flops decorated with my lovely designs.


• Beautiful complete Tarot decks, the “Fiery Wands Tarot” and the “Airy Wands Tarot”, each including 78 mysterious images, can be bought via the links on this site.


• “Jasmine's Unicorn”, a hilarious, exciting, magical children's story that I originally wrote for my daughter when she was eight, is now on sale on Amazon.


• I also amused myself by translating “Jasmine's Unicorn” into French, and my translation is available to download free.
