Sarah Abrehart

Based in Hertfordshire, UK, this illustrator and printmaker conjures a world where folklore, nature, and medieval mysticism entwine. Drawing inspiration from the enchantment of old tales and the beauty of the natural world, her work brings to life the creatures and curiosities that inhabit the shadowy edges of myth and history.

From heraldic beasts to folkish spirits, each illustration is steeped in narrative and imagination. As soon as a new “beast of olde” or curious tale is uncovered, it is swiftly committed to ink, an instinctive act of storytelling through image. Every piece is printed by hand on a Victorian press using traditional techniques, giving each print a unique character. This process ensures that no two editions are ever quite the same, each one is imbued with subtle variations that reflect the craftsmanship behind it.

Rooted in a love for the quaint and the curious, her practice acts as a quiet form of preservation, keeping ancient symbols, creatures, and stories alive in the modern age. There is a reverence for history in the way each image is made, but also a playful, imaginative twist.
