The Sirens Oracle
Art · Myth · The Feminine · The Sea
I am creating an oracle deck from my new body of paintings, exploring the Siren and the many feminine archetypes of water. I would love for you to become a Founding Patron and help me bring it into the world.
Mystic ✦ Water Wisdom ✦ Divine Feminine ✦ Magic
THE STORY
Each card begins as an original work of art.
For more than two decades I have been painting Sirens. Mermaids, goddesses, water spirits and mythic women have emerged again and again through my work - figures inhabiting the liminal territory between land and water, human and otherworldly, conscious and unconscious.
After more than twenty years of painting, dreaming and travelling, my Sirens exhibition brings this work together for the first time. But it is not an ending. It is the beginning of something much larger: The Sirens Oracle, an archive of feminine mythology and a journey into the mysteries of water.
“The paintings will become a collection. The collection will become an Oracle.”
A first look at how the SIRENS Oracle will be presented: the cards, the keepsake box and the guidebook. The artwork shown is a concept for the layout and feel. The final cards will feature my original paintings.

This is not simply the making of a deck of cards. It is the creation of a world - an archive of feminine mythology, a body of contemporary painting, a journey into the mysteries of water. I invite you to become part of its story.
The Sirens are calling.
