Science Tarot is a group project, an exciting collaboration of professional talent including post-doc scientists, experienced tarot readers, graphic designers and published artists. We are united by our desire to explore and create at the intersection of science and art.
The Mad Scientists
Logan Austeja Daniel (Co-Creator) is an audio designer, landscape designer, and project manager who loves to work with others on developing creations that combine art and science into an ecological, educational, and inspirational space for exploration. http://www.austeja.com
Martin Azevedo (Co-Creator) is a published writer and filmmaker with lifelong interests in science, psychology and mythology. He began exploring, interpreting and designing tarot cards in 1999. http://www.eatagoodbreakfast.com
Raven Hanna (Co-Creator) is a science artist and science writer involved in various informal science communication projects, such as jewelry based on molecule shapes, a quirky documentary on origin of life theories, and the Science Tarot. She has a PhD in molecular biophysics & biochemistry. http://www.madewithmolecules.com
The Artists
Original art and conceptual contribution for Major Arcana by Suzanne Forbes.
Janelle Schneider (Wands Suit) is a mixed media fine artist and a 3d texture paint artist for feature films. As a mixed media artist she combines materials and acrylics creating many layers which hold hidden elusive imagery. Her work has been described as 'textural' 'compelling' and these 'internal landscapes' call on dreams, symbolism, tarot, psychology, science, spirituality and social commentary. Her studio is located at Artworks Downtown in San Rafael, California. Her work can also be seen at http://www.paintbetty.com/mixedmedia.html and on her Flickr site.
Kristy Whitehouse (Pentacles Suit) is a chemist by day, illustrator and crafter at night and on weekends. She has a BS in Cellular Biology and a Master's Certificate in Science Illustration. http://www.kristyart.com
Shari Arai DeBoer (Swords Suit) is a visual artist, a painter and printmaker with a background in architecture. She is a close observer of plant life and everyday objects and uses them to evoke visual stories in her artwork. More of her work can be viewed at http://www.sharideboer.com
Tammy Stellanova (Cups Suit) is an illustrator and comics artist with a background in biology. She loves to draw living creatures, especially animals, and is happiest when she is outside in nature, sketching from life. You can see more of her work at her portfolio website at http://www.tammystellanova.com, and her natural history illustrated jewelry at http://www.stellanovajewelry.com.
Kristian Johnson Michiels
(Major Arcana artist, adapted original Major Arcana art by Suzanne Forbes for publication) is a printmaker and watercolorist who has worked
in illustration for over 25 years, primarily in pen and ink. From childhood, she developed
a deep connection with trees and flowers. She collects stories and nature myths concerning
these essential entities so crucial to our lives.
Much of her work is based on this research
and can be viewed at http://www.inkimage.net.
The Lab Assistants
We didn't create this alone! Often possessed by the souls of failed experimental monkeys, our loyal lab assistants work in a frenzy where their artistic teamwork of the mystical sort is not readily apparent: John jD Daniel for graphics enabling, David Van Brink for animating, Deb Culmer for star gazing, Jonathon Korman for physics training, Katherine Roe for web design, Simone Katz for legal speak, and everyone from the Projekteers community.
