Hiyah
I am Yasmeen (aka Yas) and welcome to my art website.
A little bit about me:
I am a Scottish lass living in sunny Perth & Kinross, I have worked in the oil and gas industry, training in health and safety and quality management. I also trained in NLP, hypnotherapy, and life coaching, as well as being a Reiki master.
after the birth of my wee one, I suffered severe post natal depression (PND). some of you may know how debilitating it can be and I tried therapy, but being a private person I found it quite difficult to convey my feelings in words. at the same time, I began teaching myself photoshop techniques off YouTube tutorials and found that it was much easier for me to describe how I felt through creating images.
before I knew it, a tarot deck had been born - the tarot of enchanted dreams. I self published a limited edition of 100 decks which instantly sold out. a few publishers were interested in publishing the deck to the mass market, and after consideration I signed on with Schiffer books (I love the size & quality of their decks). the rest is history as they say. this deck contains a lot of me in it. it is a very feminine deck, which does not contain any images of men. this was deliberate as it was my therapy, and about me finding my femininity during the trauma of PND.
I hold a BSc (Hons) degree in biochemistry and MSc in immunopharmacology—both achieved in the UK.
My first deck – The Tarot of Enchanted Dreams – was created in 2018, awarded a publishing contract, and was released worldwide in November 2019. A limited number of the decks were self-published and they were highly reviewed by many tarot bloggers, such as Bellben, TABI, Angelorum, etc
