2017 Australia Legends Annette Abolins Art & Design

Vizaĝo playing cards feature the bright and colourful artwork of Annette Abolins, 2017. Annette’s art seeks “to tell visual stories inspired by life, mythology and people”. Inspired by traditional lino/wood-cut and line-drawing techniques, Annette is fascinated by the visual language and magic contained in tarot and playing cards. Each suit has a distinct palette and each ace is coloured to match the court and number cards of its suit. For more details visit the artist’s website
