Discover the Art of Cara Emilia Gregor

Hi! I’m Cara Gregor, the artist behind Cara Emilia. My home studio in Sacramento, CA, is my happy place—a cozy space where I create, teach, and share my love for art.

I am an intuitive painter and creator, meaning that I create art through a series of instinctive choices instead of a set plan. I typically create two-dimensional works in acrylic paints and mixed media. I love the freedom of working with acrylic paints and creating without a plan. The colors and forms lead me to create bold and vibrant pieces that reflect the beauty of flow, the energy of nature, and the magic of letting go to trust the process.

At the heart of what I do is the belief that creativity is for everyone. I want to inspire others—especially those who think they’re “not artistic enough”—to explore their creative side and experience the joy that comes with making something. Through my paintings, workshops, and intuitive classes, I hope to help people trust their instincts, embrace their unique voice, and find the magic in the creative process.

You can find my work at Constellation Marketplace, on Instagram @caraemiliaart, and at galleries and events across California. Recently, my collection Move Like Water was featured at ARTHOUSE in Sacramento. Beyond painting, I’ve illustrated for published works. I also teach workshops for both kids and adults—a role I love, as it lets me connect with others through art.

When I’m not in my studio or teaching, I’m usually outside soaking up inspiration from nature, enjoying a cup of coffee, or diving into something new and creative. For me, art isn’t just something I do—it’s how I see the world. It’s open-ended, full of possibilities, and endlessly fulfilling.
