Guided Hand Studio

Brand · Paper goods

Guided Hand Studio began as my first project out of art school: my tarot deck, the Guided Hand Tarot. Created by hand at a feverish pace in the summer of 2017, the Guided Hand Tarot is a 78 card deck created from a combination of collage/cut paper, painting, drawing and embroidery. Since Kickstarting the deck in 2018, I have sold it to Tarot lovers all over the world. The name “Guided Hand” is a reference to one of my all-time favorite artists, Hilma af Klint— a painter and Spiritualist medium, who believed unseen forces would guide her hand in creating her stunning abstract paintings. She viewed herself as a conduit for the spirit realm to relay messages through visual art, notably dismissing that her paintings were a product of her own mind. This notion that art-making is not necessarily a solo effort, but a co-collaboration with invisible divine forces, is something that has inspired me for years, and shifted the way I view process and creation. Guided Hand Studio’s mission is to create artfully designed products and decor that inspire a sense of sensuality & enchantment in everyday life. I’m a firm believer that the objects and decor we surround ourselves with make a direct impact on our psyches and the energy of our environments, which influences our capacities for inspiration, love and spiritual awakening.
