Hi! I’m Cara Gregor, the artist behind Cara Emilia. I work from my home studio in Sacramento, CA.  My studio 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 with the intention of cultivating joy. Using bright colors and organic forms lead me to create bold and vibrant pieces that reflect the beauty of flow, the energy of nature, the magic of letting go, and trusting in 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.
