Pamela Colman Smith

In this episode Lynsey is joined by Professor Elizabeth Foley O’Conner to talk about Pamela Coleman Smith. Pixie, as she was sometimes known, was an Anglo-American artist and publisher prolific in the mediums of painting, printing, and illustration. Ahead of her time in many ways, Pamela was an occultist and a self-defining, non-conformist, Smith practiced synaesthesia, with an ability to paint from visions induced while listening to music. Famous in her lifetime, she lived and worked within an elite circle of late Victorian and Edwardian artists, actors and writers who recorded, employed, and lauded her talent in its day.

Subsequently overlooked, since the height of her fame in the early part of the twentieth century, Colman Smith’s struggle with finances meant that she died in 1951 without the financial recognition her body of astounding work deserved. You will have seen her images, perhaps in the Rider Waite (now called Waite-Smith) tarot deck. Now it is time to get to know the person who created them.
