Ma Deva Padma: I am a woman that creates art. Whether motivated by imagination or inspired by Nature, painting is my passion and has been ever since I could hold a brush. My creative output has been diverse, taking a wide variety of forms including the birth of 2 tarot style card decks, both designed for deepening self-awareness and meditation. The Osho Zen Tarot and the TAO Oracle: An Illuminated New Approach to the I Ching were developed during many inner and outer journeys, years of living in India, America, Europe, Asia then finally, Australia.
