This beautiful artist, illustrator and writer Pamela Colman Smith was responsible for the illustrations on the famous Waite-Smith tarot deck. They're a truly magnetic set of cards because of her gorgeous illustrations and the captivating narratives she has created in them. I just recently bought a deck of my own and have been dabbling in some basic spreads.
When I first read about Pamela, I felt an affinity because by all accounts, the process through which she designed the tarot images seems so much like my own design process. In my mind this is a process of listening to a client's desires, goals and needs; anticipating trends through pattern recognition; making sure you still stay true to your own creative style; and most importantly - following your intuition!
