Artistic Roots

Created between 2015-2017, Stasia Burrington's original designs are a blend of sumi ink, watercolor, and Windsor & Newton Inks. The major arcana from the full-sized deck is now part of a private collection in New York. The deck’s name, "sasuraibito," reflects its essence as a companion for the wandering seeker on their life journey.
