The American neo-Cubist artist Mary DeLave has produced a tarot image of the Fool. I tried to discover if she had made a complete tarot set of images, but could get no information. Her art style is a sort of 'rounded' or smooth cubism, with a much softer palette than that used by Picasso. I found her work rather interesting, reminding me also of Chagall, and hope she is working on a full set of tarot images.

I contacted Mary through her website.  A Tarot deck is not on her long list of things-to-do at the moment, though she said that she is preparing another type of deck.  No details though.

She was interested to hear that there is a market for small limited editions decks and asked for contact info.  I gave her your alchemywebsite email address, Adam, but stressed that you publish limited edition TAROT only.

I also gave her details of this site.  Maybe she will find it tempting enough to add a 22 card deck to her list and then prioritise it highly.  One can hope :)!

I like it!!  I hope  she does do a set.  Can we get prints of what she has done?  In other words, what is her web site address?

Very nice art - a bold and powerful flow of images. Could be interesting to see her interpret an entire deck (22 cards at least ). One can always hope !

Love the artwork - fingers crossed for a deck one day. Spent almost all day here - wonderful to find links to decks I've never met before.

Yup, take acouple days off, and amazing and wonderful stuff shows up here.  Everyone is wonderful about passing on links and information on new decks, or decks that are almost sold out.  The down side is that is can end up quite expensive.:shock:  But oh so wonderful.  I would probably never have heard of the majority of the tips I've heard here.  Plus I have learned quite a bit about various decks.

It seems like each and every collection list has at least one and most have many, decks I never heard about before.  It seems there is always more to learn, which why this hobby had turned into something of an obsession.  I can see how someone can end up with 1300+ decks.  They arrive just one by one!
