Artist's Description
Featured is a jester with a jester's cap, bells, and various balls and playing card symbols sewn into his outfit. He wears make up as is fitting for a jester, and the background is a kind of checkerboard shape.

About Lise Winne
I have a bachelor's degree in Studio Art and a masters degree in Art Education. I used to be an art teacher and taught grades K - 12.

This is really a wonderful depiction and the story behind it is wonderful too. You should consider doing the entire Tarot! Maybe begin with the Star? :-) Robert.
