Visual Art – San Diego

Jessica 0h (Oropesa) is a visual artist based in San Diego, CA. After being undeclared for two years, she eventually found her way into the art program and graduated with a Bachelor's of Art in Art from the University of California at Santa Barbara. At a young age, she loved drawing and doodling, but it was at UCSB that she discovered her voice in painting and printmaking. Since returning home after college, Jessica has participated with numerous local art shows, including RAW Artists San Diego, the Infusion Project, and Art In the Park at Bluefoot Bar. She also helped curate three annual benefit art shows with Celebrating Life through Art (CLTA), a not-for-profit organization that honors the life of friend, Rebecca Mabunay, by raising money to donate to youth art programs. She currently hosts painting parties at local bars and restaurants with Paint Nite San Diego and occasionally volunteers as an art mentor for young artists. Jessica's purpose in this lifetime is to create and she believes in making the world a more beautiful place.
