ABOUT TAYLOR

Taylor Hancock is a Canadian artist, illustrator, jeweller, and tarot creator based on Gabriola Island, British Columbia. Working across illustration, tarot design, publishing, and traditional metalsmithing, her practice explores symbolism, storytelling, ritual, and the connection between visual art and personal meaning.

​

With a background in art history, photography, design, and technical drafting, Taylor combines bold graphic linework with organic forms inspired by nature, folklore, and contemporary symbolic design. She is the creator of several independently published tarot and oracle projects, including The Fox Tarot and The Fox Universe Tarot, as well as a growing collection of illustrated guidebooks, journals, and reflective tools.

​

Alongside her illustration practice, Taylor creates handcrafted jewellery under the name Third Empress at OPAL Jewellery Studio + Gallery on Gabriola Island. Across all mediums, her work is rooted in storytelling, symbolism, and the creation of meaningful, visually immersive objects.
