Tarot of the Pomegranate

A Norwegian Seattle native, An-Magrith holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornish College of the Arts and an Associates degree in Visual Communications from the Art Institute of Seattle. Her work holds the essence of the Pacific Northwest's dark mysticism and Scandinavian folklore.

An-Magrith is available for commissioned Art work, and is adept at the painting of portraits of people and animals, landscapes, both Surrealistic and Realistic, and Logos, illustrative work, and murals. An-Magrith enjoys artistic collaborations with other artists; dancers, painters, photographers, writers and musicians. She is also an independent Art teacher and teaches both children and young adults.

A professional Tarot reader, she reads at Eco-elements in downtown Seattle. An-Magrith has traveled extensively in her lifetime to Indonesia; Irian Jaya, Java, Bali, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Norway, Ireland, England, Germany and other countries and many states of the U.S.. She brings back with her lessons and experiences and portrays them in her various mediums of expression.

She is also an experienced and powerful performance artist, who has performed with "Visionary Dancers", and since 2005 is part of the Experimental Bellydance Theatre troupe, "Hands of Kali", whom perform locally and abroad. Tarot of the Pomegranate became the official deck of Hands of Kali's Belly Tarot performances in 2005, which is an unusual and visionary method of interpreting the Tarot through dance. Belly Tarot is invented by and performed exclusively by Hands of Kali of Seattle.

An-Magrith first began sketches of Tarot of the Pomegranate in 1998, and has kept a written and pictorial account of this incredible journey of research, memory, imagination and synchronistic events that have occurred as a result ever since. The journey of the artist and her art is worthy to be published as a book in itself.

She began selling a signed limited edition of her "Tarot deck in progress" in 2005 to help support the on-going creation of her work, and to share the journey with people all over the world. This deck is highly collectible as it will be the only one of its kind before going to a publisher.

An-Magrith has had numerous shows throughout the Seattle area over the years with the original oil paintings, both group and independent. The Tarot paintings have also been used as background for Theatrical performance Art, Dance and Ritual, and published in several published works and writings. Her work was presented regularly at "Red Stripe Art Studios" during Pioneer Square's First Thursday Artwalk in Seattle for several years. Her paintings were also used as a background for Spiritus, a Psychic/Metaphysical/Performace event at the Jewelbox Theatre in Seattle from 2005-2008. On the eve of the Summer Solstice in 2008 An-Magrith became a mother to a beautiful daughter.

She has been selling prints of her work at the famous Gargoyles Statuary in Seattle's U-District since 2001. In the summer of 2007 An-Magrith and two of her paintings were on the cover of "Tarotisten", an international Tarot magazine, with an exclusive in-depth interview. The Fusion rock band "Somewhere Beyond Echoes" utilizes her visionary paintings as inspiration for their music, and part of their web site is dedicated to her art. An-Magrith's Tarot paintings are displayed on several web sites including Aeclectic Tarot, Alchemy Website and Scarlet Foundry Tarot which uses her Tarot paintings for their interpretations.
