Lisa Hunt: Author and Illustrator

..”What started out as an intrigue became a passion. The tarot perfectly complements my interest in psychology and art and allows me to use my artwork in a way that helps me to become more engaged in the deeper levels of the psyche. I’m fascinated by symbolism and the subtleties that these cards represent as projection holders. It is endlessly fascinating and never grows boring for me. I’m always reading and rereading books about tarot and continue to learn new things about this amazing and versatile tool.”

‘Our weavings in the cosmic web are not self-contained. Rather, they are part of the design of our collective humanity.’ ~ Lisa Hunt

Lisa started drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil in her hand. She spent her New England childhood sketching out the stories that she composed in her head. She loved fairy tales and mythology and derived many of her ideas from universal themes contained in such stories.

Over the years she has illustrated numerous products including tarot decks, collectible gaming cards (she is best known for her ethereal spirits), book covers, interior book illustrations, a co-authored children’s book, magazines, calendars etc. In addition to Lisa’s illustration and writing career, she had worked as an adjunct instructor at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She taught many diverse subjects including Animal Drawing, Dynamic Anatomy and Scripting & Storyboarding before deciding to devote her full attention to her freelance career and family.

Lisa has written a full color hard cover book entitled Celestial Goddesses (Llewellyn 2001) followed by the recent release: Animals Divine Tarot (Llewellyn Publications 2005). All the while, she earned her masters degree from the Union Institute and University in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis on Jungian Psychology/Art & Drawing.

Lisa lives with her talented husband, graphic designer/photographer Kort Kramer, who she met at the Art Institute and subsequently at a book signing. They share a home in Florida with their children, 3 cats, 5 goldfish and a host of visiting geckos, ibises, ducks and all manner of tropical wildlife.
