Debut of My Tarot
Welcome to my tarot - where “magic” is king and “color” is queen. The world of Major and Minor Arcanas join mystical forces.
This is an initial debut of the tarot deck I am working with U.S. Games Systems, Inc. I hope you like what you see.
The fun is about to start, so please stay tuned as the High Priestess will make her grand entrance soon and you will not want to miss that. I guarantee you’ll enjoy it. Thank you. Grazie. Gracias. Danke.
Wishing you Health and Happy Holidays!
All You Need Is Love
So excited and proud to share with you my new hand-painted handbag by my super-talented Italian friend Sabrina Pasquini.
This fabulous handbag is titled: “All You Need Is Love.” Here I am, proudly showcasing this fun bag. More pics, below.
Sabrina paints on canvas, leather, cloth, metal, and rocks. She uses vibrant colors and, always adds a touch of whimsy to all her pieces. She describes herself as a “street-wear, punk-rock artist” and, I love it because I am a big fan of skulls and, of course, Frida!
Visit her Instagram account: @crazy_horse_concept. She has a vast collection of one-of-a-kind artwork and ships worldwide.
Stay tuned for updates regarding my Tarot deck (work-in-progress).
Greatly appreciate your time. Follow me on IG @paintings_by_Isabel.
Please stay healthy and safe!

Publication of New Tarot Deck Featuring 78 New Paintings
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” – Thomas Merton.
Mr. Merton said it well because that’s exactly how I would describe my current journey.
In the last few months, I have been a bit silent because I have been working on a fantastic, but extensive, painting project for a publishing company, who publishes books, board games, tarot and playing cards.
My commission is to create an entire tarot deck, which consists of 78 cards, which means 78 paintings. As of today, I have done
14 paintings (64 more to go!). The deck will be in my style of painting, which you are familiar with, but I will be using as guidance the Rider-Waite-Smith system, which is the world’s most popular tarot deck.

I have never done anything like this before, but the publishing company I am working with is fantastic and has offered me plenty of guidance, support, care, and time.
I love the challenge and the thrill that this project brings. It will take me about two years to finish the tarot deck, but my motto is “slow and steady”. This is all extremely engaging for me because I have always been fascinated with divination and mystical themes.
For legal reasons, I am unable to share visuals of my tarot deck with you, but as soon as the images are copyrighted, you’ll be the first to see them.
As expressed beautifully by Thomas Merton, art is a deeply personal undertaking.
Thank you for your continued friendship and support on my journey.
