Books
Alongside my work as a visual artist, I am also a writer. My books and card decks explore many of the same themes as my art: light and darkness, mindfulness, creativity, animal symbolism, and taking good care of yourself. On this page, you will find my novel, my books about drawing and painting, my cookbook filled with nourishing dairy- and gluten-free recipes, and my oracle cards accompanied by a guidebook exploring the symbolism of animals. Take your time browsing and discover which book or card deck feels right for you at this moment.
The Symbolism of Animals and Messages from the Oracle
In The Symbolism of Animals and Messages from the Oracle, I have brought together my paintings, intuition, and love of animals in a single oracle set. While working on this project, I discovered that every animal carries its own energy, character, and message. In this book, I share how I experienced these animals, what they revealed to me, and the meaning I associate with them.
I introduce you to more than fifty animal guides, each with a story of its own. For every animal, I describe its symbolism, the intuitive message I received, and how you can apply it to your own life. You can use the cards for daily inspiration, for guidance when making important decisions, or simply as a quiet moment of reflection.
This book is intended for anyone who enjoys working with oracle cards, is interested in animals and their symbolism, or would like to develop a deeper connection with their intuition. My hope is that these animals will help you see more clearly where you are, what you need, and which next step feels right for you.

Light in the Darkness
In Light in the Darkness, I tell the story of John, a successful businessman who loses everything when he is accused of trafficking dangerous medicines. With this book, I wanted to show what happens when your life completely falls apart—and how that very moment can plant the seed of change. John’s escape into alcohol and self-destruction is dark, but necessary for him to discover what truly matters.
At his lowest point, Amrita enters his life: a woman from India filled with warmth, wisdom, and gentleness. Through her, and through a network of whistleblowers and lawyers, a search for truth and justice begins. As John digs deeper into the web of lies surrounding him, he is also confronted with his own past and with choices he would rather have forgotten.
For me, this book is not only about injustice in the world, but above all about inner healing: finding the courage to look at yourself honestly, face your guilt, and choose love and light once again. Light in the Darkness is a novel about falling, finding the strength to rise again, and learning to trust—yourself, other people, and something greater than us all.
