Abacus Corvus Artwork is the collaborative duo of Corina Dross and Jo Mosser—artists, siblings, and close friends. We both enjoy many mediums, but Jo has a special affinity for painting and Corina for drawing. 

For over fifteen years, we’ve teamed up to make a limited-edition calendar for the next year. Rather than repeat what worked once, we begin each project with new questions and genuine curiosity about what will happen. Our collaborations vary in style but are all rooted in relationship to the natural world and the worlds beyond ordinary reality. In 2017, we decided to make a calendar of "small spells"—pairing images and words to serve as focal points for people to use to amplify their own healing and magic in the world. The Abacus Corvus blog was born from this idea, and for awhile we also had a podcast to go even deeper into the working of each month’s spell. In 2024, these spells culminated in the Wild Chorus Oracle — a hugely exciting new project that has been very well received by the public!

We both have a lifelong commitment to healing, and we approach both our healing practices and our art practice with similar sensitivity to emergence, to what is ready to be known and what remains in shadows. It’s a daring way to work toward a deadline, but our collaboration has taught us a lot about trusting the process of listening carefully, taking risks, and centering joy before anxiety.
