Nicole Piar, artist & oracle deck creator

Hi kittens, I am writing to you from my studio a bit frazzled and sleep-deprived. Running a Kickstarter is quite a bit to hold while juggling all the other aspects of my little art biz as well. I just got back from a color check for my new 2025 Spirit Cats Calendar and it looks absolutely stunning! Unfortunately, my former printer went out of business. So I had to seek out a new printer. I spoke to quite a few companies before finally finding a good match. I am happy to say that my new...

Thank you, thank you, thank you to each one of you who backed my Wander Kittens Decks Kickstarter campaign. Deep bows and curtsies to you all! My heart is full. You are the best! 🤗 Did you happen to see my newest kitty painting, Ghost La Fae? She will be the October kitty in my 2025 Spirit Cats Calendar and a new card in my Wander Kittens Mini Oracle Decks. I'm loving her little shadow friend hiding behind the tree, full of mischief and cuteness. WANDER KITTENS DECKS KICKSTARTER UPDATE We...

So I will answer a few questions here ahead of time. TIME UNTIL WANDER KITTENS KICKSTARTER LAUNCH "How are the Wander Kittens different from the full-size decks?" 1.

"Beyond Time and Space" watercolor and colored pencil on paper, 2025 As an oracle deck creator, it is no surprise that I love working with oracle cards everyday and sometimes multiple times a day. Feeling down? Draw a card. Need some inspiration to start a creative project? Draw a card. About to head out dancing and am curious about the energy of the night? Draw a card. Feeling unsettled or anxious? Draw a card. About to spend time with a friend and wondering what to bring to the connection?...

Digging through some musty boxes of childhood memories that my mom had stored away, I uncovered a book I had written as a third grader called "The Land of Pufflewillows." I clearly remember writing and illustrating it and being so enamored with the fantasy world I was crafting. I remember that there were lots of cats, crystals, and Pufflewillows which I described as "fuzzy balls with wings" but I did not remember the exact story. As I read it, I realized there were quite a few uncanny...

The Spirit Cats 2025 Calendar and Dream Cat Pin Pre-Order starts TODAY! I am including an exclusive surprise free gift (not in my shop) with each calendar for the first 222 people who pre-order as a big THANK YOU! Last year, I ended up with a surplus of calendars for the first time so I will only be ordering a very small number of calendars beyond this pre-order. Expect an extremely limited availability of the Spirit Cats Calendar beyond this pre-sale. Your pre-orders help me fund the initial...

Save the date, my friends.... In just 1 week on August 27th, I will be opening the pre-sale for my Spirit Cats 2025 Moon + Sun Calendar. There will be an early-bird free gift that is NOT available in my shop AND brand new special discounted bundles. There will be extremely limited availability of the Spirit Cats Calendar beyond this pre-sale as I won't be ordering as many extra calendars as previous years. The calendar will feature cats from the Spirit and Witch Cats Oracle Decks but there...

"Bright Future" from my Witch Cats Oracle Deck Hello friends, I am writing to you from the edge of a little pond in New Hampshire with a golden half moon shining across the water. Last night, my partner and I canoed into the center of the pond and watched shooting stars of the Perseids and listened to the loons, crickets, frogs, and coy wolves. We just let the boat drift and relaxed into the wild night. The nature here will always feel like home. "Float Downstream" from my Witch Cats Oracle...
