Sarah Kraning is a painter with synesthesia whose work transforms music into large-scale visual art. Born with multiple forms of auditory-visual synesthesia, Sarah translates sound into color, texture, and motion — creating large-scale paintings that function as visual scores. With early career attention from art industry leaders such as the Guggenheim Museum , Kraning has been compared to a modern-day Wassily Kandinsky.

Due to the immersive nature of Sarah’s synesthetic experiences, her artwork has spanned across creation of traditional studio paintings, film & live concert painting, animation & projection design, education & speaking, and creative direction. In Sarah’s experience of sound, each pitch corresponds to a specific color on the visible spectrum, enabling real-time translation of music into color and motion.

Her multi-sensory approach has resonated across music and visual arts, with collaborations including Warner Records, Lollapalooza, and Montclair Museum, and features in GRAZIA, People Magazine, HGTV, UPROXX, and CBS Chicago.
