For Veronica Gutman, the work of Vincent van Gogh isn’t just art. It’s a lifelong love affair, a muse, and a mirror to the soul. After seeing over 400 of Van Gogh’s paintings in person and spending three years doing the research, writing and design, she’s created a deck that is designed specifically to support your creativity.
Veronica selected paintings from across Van Gogh’s body of work to reflect the emotional landscape of your creative life. The cards focus on things like creative flow, wonder, hard work, inner strength, the need for allies, connecting to nature, valuing your time, and protecting your energy. Use it as a tool to get clear on a specific situation, process emotional blocks, and reconnect with your creative power.
A Creative Pilgrimage to the Netherlands
As part of her deep dive into the creative world of Van Gogh, Veronica traveled to the Netherlands to experience his work firsthand. She visited both the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo—two of the most important collections of Van Gogh’s work in the world. The chance to stand in front of the originals was absolutely thrilling. Veronica brought a printed prototype of the Van Gogh Tarot deck, produced by Shuffled Ink, and photographed the cards alongside the original artworks that inspired them—including breathtaking moments with The Sunflowers (Completion/The World) and Wheatfield with a Reaper (The Sun).
Partnering with Shuffled Ink
When looking for a card manufacturer, Veronica connected instantly with our project manager, Skylar, who has been essential in bringing the deck to life. At Shuffled Ink, realizing our clients’ creative vision with precision is always a top priority. We have worked closely with Veronica and produced several working prototypes and boxes before the final deck was ready.
The result is a beautiful 78-card Oracle deck with the vibrance of Van Gogh’s paintings popping off our high-quality cardstock. The inside of the box bursts with purple irises. Everyone who has purchased a copy has remarked on how beautiful and stunning the deck is. It carries Van Gogh’s presence—you feel it the moment you open it.
A New Way to See Van Gogh’s Work
What makes this deck truly unique is how it weaves together the brilliance of Vincent van Gogh’s artwork, the power of the 22 Major Arcana, and 56 Creative Support cards that speak to the real emotions and challenges we all face when we are engaged in creative projects.
If you’re an admirer of Vincent van Gogh, this deck offers a completely new way to engage with his work and with the Tarot. Many cards in the Major Arcana have been reimagined through the lens of creativity—The Hierophant becomes The Mentor, for example.

This deck wasn’t made to tell you what’s going to happen. It’s here to address what is happening today. Ask it something real. Let the cards do their thing. The more you use your deck, the more Van Gogh’s paintings will mean even more to you personally.
