Creator
Heidi Phelps is an American writer and artist from Washington, DC. She created the Black Violet Tarot as she became a mother and while losing her own mother to cancer. Illustrated entirely in black and white, this tarot deck reflects that idea of bittersweet dualities, of shining a light in times of darkness. Heidi's diverse list of artistic influences includes Edward Gorey, Victorian-era mourning costumes and memento mori, vintage early to mid-century sewing patterns, Grimm's fairy tales, Salvador Dali's Alice in Wonderland sketches, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Frida Kahlo, and Marjane Satrapi. When she's not sketching – and even when she is – Heidi spends time with her husband Erdem, her daughter Leyla, and her two cats Eddie and Daisy.
