My name is Ravynne (pronounced Raven) and I am a bit of a crazy ol' black bird who creates because she must. People often say that we are not what we do, but in my case, I am. I am an artist. What I do is the air that I breathe. It is my life.

I am the author and illustrator of both the Messenger Oracle and the Dreams of Gaia Tarot, and I am now working on the next deck. However, being a self-employed artist and author, it can be difficult to balance the creative and the business side that pays the bills and provides a safe place in which to create. For an artist to create, those bills need to be paid, or all our time goes into selling, and survival, instead of creating. This Patreon account has been created for those who want to help support my creative endeavours and play a key role in helping my next projects to manifest. Without support, the next deck could take years to create. With your support, I can focus my energies and time on painting and writing.

In exchange, depending on your level of support, you will have access to information and extras that I share nowhere else. You will be the first to know what's happening in my life and creative space. You will also have the opportunity to be gifted with original artworks and other exclusive offerings as well as the pledge rewards.

We humans sometimes need to be reminded of the power, beauty, and magic that we can and do create with our hands and minds. Without art, our reality is a little less vibrant and colourful; art is one of the most positive and healing ways humanity both adds to and celebrates the beauty that already exists in the natural world. It is your choice to nurture and support artistic expression by supporting the artists who both create and inspire. Will you play a role in making magic happen?

With much love and gratitude <3
