The Rite Before the Ritual

Aunia Kahn is figurative artist, photographer, creative entrepreneur and inspirational speaker. She’s has created a hybrid art form combining many disciplines which she invariably designs, builds, and executes characters, non-existent places, dreams, illusions, fears and fables into creations melding elements of classical and contemporary art. Her art is often compared to movie-like stills hiding away long stories within their visuals. Garnered several awards, having been featured in numerous publications, and represented and collected nationally and internationally, along with being a published author has provided her a platform to guest lectures at colleges and universities.

Project driven with a community interest prompted Aunia to pursue curating several exhibitions and book projects, such as the Tarot Under Oath Project [ Last Rites Gallery], The Moon Goddess Exhibition [ Modern Eden Gallery], Lowbrow Tarot Project [ La Luz de Jesus] which later inspired her to open the Alexi Era Gallery. Her personal publishing projects include the Silver Era Tarot, Inspirations for Survivors, Obvious Remote Chaos, Minding the Sea: Inviting the Muses Over for Tea and her forthcoming book Avalanche of White Reason and deck Muse Tarot. With the completion of several publishing projects, her love for art and books inspired the launch of Lokreign Publishing, specializing in art book collections ranging from traditional, new and cutting edge mediums to select high-end limited editions. Aunia also runs/hosts the Create & Inspire Blog & Podcast where she helps and inspires creatives to follow their dreams!
