About Secret Creatures

Secret Creatures is a book art business that has been offering people comfort and magic since 2007. The owner Kelly Patton is an artist who conjures childhood mischief and wonder to inspire creativity, self care and appreciation of nature. Influenced by elements of science, pop culture, and mysticism, she creates a wonderland of mythical creatures who playfully unveil the secret mysteries of the world. Kelly lives in the mountains just west of Denver Colorado where she paints Secret Creatures and loves to hike the colorful crystalline landscape. Kelly Patton’s whimsical characters have made their way into the world renowned Secret Woods oracle deck, published in 2021 by Red Feather. The title features a beautiful box set of 28 fabled familiars who offer advise and creative healing meditations. Find the oracle deck on the Schiffer Red Feather page through Faire!
