During my years as a neuroscientist, I often overlooked the small, meaningful parts of my life. When I shifted toward art, I made it a point to draw the things that genuinely brought me joy.

Most of that joy comes from my wife. Her energy, movement, and music became the spark behind nearly everything I create. Over time, she grew into a single character — Emi the Muse — who appears across my work as its guiding presence.

Throughout Tarot of the Guiding Muse, you’ll see her appear in different forms — just as inspiration does — gently nudging you back toward your own inner voice.
