For The Recorder (Oct 20, 2016)
The hills of Franklin County inspire diverse forms of belief and creative endeavor. To my knowledge, Laurel Thorndike’s work is unique in our area.

This Ashfield watercolorist is creating a deck of tarot cards using visual themes relating to la Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. This Mexican holiday, fast becoming popular in the United States, falls on Nov. 1 and 2. Those who celebrate believe that the dead return to earth once a year on these days.
Mexicans welcome their dead family members and friends in early November with traditional imagery, including brightly dressed skeletons and skulls and vividly colored flowers, particularly marigolds. I spoke to Thorndike recently about the tarot cards and about her work in general.
The artist, whose maiden name is Clark, grew up in Heath. “I’ve always drawn and painted,” she told me. “My mom used to draw and color with us kids and I think that’s where it all started….
“I started out drawing horses a lot in high school. Again, I think it was an influence of my mom, who always did horseback riding.”
As she grew into her own as an artist, Thorndike recalled, she moved away from horses and began sketching and painting fantastic, mythical creatures. She enjoys exploring traditional folk tales as well; she is currently fascinated by Little Red Riding Hood.
The artist went on to study with artist Julie Hall Rocke for many years. Thorndike has also taken a master class in illustration. She most recently created the cover art for the novel “Hearken to Avalon” by local author Arianna Alexsandra Collins.
As she began her tarot research, Thorndike discovered one drawback to the project. “I didn’t realize at the time (I took on the commission) that a tarot deck is 78 images,” she admitted ruefully.
She and the Roths decided to divide their deck into two sections. Thorndike began illustrating the 22 Major Arcana cards (roughly equivalent to face cards in a traditional deck of cards) in 2014. These have been completedand are selling across the United States, she reported.
I asked Thorndike to walk me through the process of creating a card. She explained that she begins by researching the card in question and takingnotes. “Each card has an element, a color, and an astrological sign, as well as the overall meaning,” she said.
