About me

Hi, I’m Paola Ascanio I was born in the Canary Islands, Tenerife. I am currently based in London and studied for a Graduate Diploma in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts (UAL). Ever since, I have been experimenting with all forms and materials; my curiosity and passion for discovering new techniques keep growing every day. At the moment I am working on handmade products that you will find in my online store. If you are interested in my work and think we can collaborate together, looking for commissions or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me.

  Forget Me Not OracleThis project is about creating a totally new version of Tarot cards. I chose twenty-two women that had or have an important role throughout the World’s History and left a fingerprint that can’t be forgotten. They are represented and individually illustrated on each card.
