'''Pamela Colman Smith''' (16 February 1878 – 18 September 1951), also nicknamed '''Pixie''', was a British artist, illustrator, writer, publisher, and [[occultist]]. She is best known for illustrating the [[Rider–Waite Tarot]] deck (also called the Rider–Waite–Smith or Waite–Smith deck) for [[Arthur Edward Waite]]. This tarot deck became the standard among [[tarot]] card readers, and remains the most widely used deck today. Colman also illustrated over 20 books, wrote two collections of Jamaican folklore, edited two magazines, and ran the Green Sheaf Press, a small press focused on women writers. | '''Pamela Colman Smith''' (16 February 1878 – 18 September 1951), also nicknamed '''Pixie''', was a British artist, illustrator, writer, publisher, and [[occultist]]. | ||
