Sara Gregor is a Cambodian-American artist, writer, and educator whose interdisciplinary practice explores memory, ritual, and cultural identity. Grounded in Buddhist philosophy and Southeast Asian visual traditions, her work engages themes of healing and the sacred through painting, writing, and community storytelling.

​

Sara holds a B.A. in Religious Studies and Asian Studies from Macalester College, where she also managed the campus radio station and directed student arts magazines—platforms she used to uplift emerging voices and build creative communities. A longtime student of meditation, she has trained with the Namchak Foundation and Shambhala International, deepening a contemplative path that informs both her art and teaching.

In recent years, Sara has begun volunteering more actively at Watt Munisotaram, the Cambodian Buddhist temple in Minnesota, as part of her effort to reconnect with her heritage. Through participating in New Year’s ceremonies and building relationships with fellow Cambodian-Americans, she is deepening her commitment to cultural expression, community care, and intergenerational connection.

Her creative work seeks to hold space for reflection, resilience, and reverence—where ancestral wisdom meets contemporary voice.
