Hi! I’m Sara Ghopeh, an artist, educator, and digital marketing specialist based in San Diego, California. Growing up in San Diego’s vibrant art scene, I was captivated by creativity from a young age, which led me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education and a teaching credential from San Diego State University. My career began with a focus on art and education, but I later found myself drawn to digital marketing, where I could merge my passion for visual storytelling with strategic impact.

In my work, I explore the dynamic intersection of art and digital media. This journey has allowed me to connect with diverse audiences, whether through traditional mediums or digital campaigns. As a mentor and educator, I’m passionate about passing on my knowledge, helping future creatives develop their own unique voices.

In my practice, I aim to create pieces that resonate emotionally and tell a story, whether through oil paints, digital platforms, or collaborative projects. My portfolio reflects not only my skills but my commitment to art as a vehicle for connection, growth, and transformation.
