Great Goddess Limited Edition Art Prints
I’m thrilled to announce that we are transforming the original paintings from the Great Goddess Oracle Deck into limited edition art prints. In collaboration with Marcel Salome of Re-Art, we have produced two distinct and unique editions. A Collectors Edition of 150 signed and numbered prints and a Luxury Edition of 15 hand-embellished prints.

Inspiration
Whispers from the beyond - my thoughts on Inspiration in art Inspiration: what is the source of that well of joy drawn on famously by poets, painters and musicians? Inspiration is literally 'to breathe in', by definition from outside one's...
