“Weaving mythic storytelling and symbolic art.”
Sarah René Kraft is a fantasy-surrealist artist, writer, and visual storyteller from Sacramento, California, where she lives with her son and two cats and where she shares Studio #13 at ARTHOUSE (1021 R St, Sacramento, CA - www.arthouseonr.com) with Jeremy Rathbone, her artist husband and fellow creator. Through her mytho-spiritual “ribbon pieces” - drawn using only red and blue double-ended pencils - she aims to create a sense of connection in a world too often unnerved by openness and feeling. Here, she invites you to peek beneath the mask to a wordless story of whimsy, heartbreak, growth, and reflection, where intimacy and isolation often occupy the same space and where our limitations and stigmas are painted as illusory and fragile as ribbon.

LEMNISCUS: THE RIBBON TAROT
A hand-illustrated venture down into the shadow, featuring chthonic figures from The Underworld in Greek Mythology paired with mental wellness lessons on awareness, self-love, and attachment. This deck-in-progress is a true labor of love that combines my passions for mythic storytelling with personal symbolism and archetypal medicine.
