Rolling Into Your Neighborhood! Mobile Unit Ready for Service

By Kerry Methner / VOICE

HOUSECALLS ARE TAKING

A NEW SHAPE as local healthcare institutions work to provide easier access to care for people who desperately need it. In this pursuit, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, with the help of the community and donors, has put a new tool in their bag. In addition to their six clinics, the Isla Vista Clinic, Goleta Clinic, Goleta Dental Clinic, Westside Clinic, Eastside Dental Clinic, and Eastside Clinic, last month the community health organization cut a red ribbon and began the roll out of a new mobile care unit.

Wrapped in photos of our beautiful area by photographer Isaac Hernández de Lipa, the mobile care unit will travel into the community providing all of the services that are provided in SBNC clinics.

“Our mobile units let us take health care to our patients, shared SBNC Board President Norman Colavincenzo. “Many of our patients are not able to take off work for appointments or they may have mobility issues. With the mobile units we can make medical and dental care easy and accessible. Partnerships with local

schools and social service organizations can allow us to provide good health to many more children, adults, and seniors.”

The Mobile Care Unit’s first “expedition” is set for October. Already several institutions and locations are lined up to participate.

Dr. Mahdi Ashrafian, SBNC CEO, as well as President Colavincenzo offered their thoughts on the new program.

“This unit will extend our reach… technically it is an additional clinic. I am really excited for what it can do for the community… the amount of good the unit will do for the communityespecially for our young ones in school,” Dr. Ashrafian, shared. “They will be healthier, safer. We will see them where they are, at their schools, so parents don’t have to take time off… It’s difficult for parents to take time off work to bring them into clinic and for children to get time off school... We will be removing those barriers, taking services to them.”

Dr. Ashrafian is not only focused on serving schools and the children.

“We will also be able to reach vulnerable populations… reach people we have not been able to reach, such as victims of household domestic issues,” he explained. “They don’t always feel good coming to clinics… The mobile units will provide care in a place they feel comfortable, near their homes.”

Launching the unit has involved a lot of collaborative work with schools, social service agencies, and referral services. The care units will have a range of services available with staff drawn from current and yet-to-be-hired professionals.

“We are going to put equal weight - mental, physical, dental, and social health,” Ashrafian shared. There are four important parts, areas of health...All of these angles are important.”

Of course the roll out will be a process and initially will be based on demand, and the development and depth of collaborations.

Over the next year SBNC will understand specific needs and uses more. They anticipate rotating through all area schools on an as needed basis, maybe once a month, maybe once a week, depending on parents’ acceptance and children’s needs.

All this will be possible because the community has gotten behind SBNC and provided support. The units were funded by the community for the community, with one donor stepping up to provide a major gift to see them on the street.

And they are important. The units will provide SBNCs with additional capacity to provide care.

Both Ashrafian and Colavincenzo stressed the important place of community support in this process.

“The mission of the Clinics is so compelling - providing quality health care to our under-served neighbors without regard to the ability to pay,” shared Colavincenzo, who has been on the Board since 2014. That mission has engaged him, and he hopes many more will follow and share what they can.

Ashrafian followed with, “We

could not do what we do without the community’s help and donations… the reason why we have this mobile unit is because of the community members who donated the money for them. Otherwise none of this would have happened.”

Colavincenzo added, “Of course, we could not do this without the dedication of our wonderful doctors and dentists, nurse practitioners, nurses, aids, and administrators. We are so grateful for their efforts.”

“Through the Open Books Project, we are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of young readers and their families,” said Pedro Paz, Executive Director of the Santa Barbara Education Foundation. “Our goal is simple: to provide access to books that inspire a love for reading, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive academically.”

Condor Express Opera Cruise: Music & Some Birthday Fun!

HIROKO BENKO HOSTED HER LAST MUSICAL CRUISE OF THE SEASON last weekend, this time offering opera delights, tasty bites, and a 91st birthday celebration for Robert Emmons.

Christine Emmons provided cupcakes and Robert’s nephew, Tenor Nicholas Preston, provided music as one of the opera singing entertainers. Others included Soprano Chelsea Chaves and Pianist Renee Hamity.

The cruise is a pinnacle of the Double Dolphin Season and includes music, food, and ocean breezes.

Even local ocean celebrity Jean-Michel Cousteau was present. According to Benko, “Cousteau loves the Musical Cruises because he doesn’t need to sit in the theatre. He is in the ocean and can move around the boat.”

For those who missed out on the fun, there’s always next season... And whale watching continues year round.

El Niño coming to Santa Barbara

WARM WEATHER WATCHERS IN SANTA BARBARA will be well informed to know this winter will bring the challenging weather pattern called El Niño.

The National Weather Service has given notice that there is a 95 percent chance of an El Niño occurring between December 2023 and February 2024, and a 66 percent that it will be a “strong” El Niño. Also, Indicators include above average sea surface temperatures and “atmospheric anomalies” in the Pacific.”

Delta Air Lines Returns to SB Airport

Congressman Salud Carbajal Responds to Potential Government Shutdown

WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN beginning on October 1st, Congressman Salud Carbajal has released the following statement to his constituents and the Central Coast community:

You may be hearing more recently about the possibility of a government shutdown, so I wanted to take a moment to talk to you more about what that means and why you should be concerned. Congress has a pretty basic job: funding the government services and programs that you rely on, even the ones you may not think about every day, but still impact your lives.

JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT SUMMER’S TRAVELS, Delta Air Lines will begin offering services again through Santa Barbara Airport. Beginning June 7th, 2024, Delta will provide daily nonstop services to Atlanta once a day and Salt Lake City twice a day. These flights will feature a total of 130 seats available per flight.

“We warmly welcome Delta Air Lines back to Santa Barbara, and we are honored by their incredible commitment to our community,” said SB Airport Director, Chris Hastert. “This two-hub announcement demonstrates their desire to serve the needs of all travelers to/from this area with the highest level of service and connections available.”

This marks the first time Delta has offered services with SBA since the pandemic. Previously, Delta provided daily direct service to Salt Lake City from August 2019 to July 2020.

“Delta Air Lines’ presence at the Santa Barbara Airport not only enhances our local travel options but also positions us as a key player in national and international business networks,” said Kristen Miller, President & CEO of the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce. “This strategic addition reinforces our ability to connect our world-class center for innovation and technology businesses across the country and around the globe. It’s a testament to the strength and appeal of our business community, and we are appreciative of the Santa Barbara Airport for championing this addition.”

State Street Undercrossing Project Construction to Begin in October

That includes funding for law enforcement, our military, funding for nutrition and housing programs, health care for our seniors, children, working families, and so much more. But if Congress doesn’t do its job and pass those funding bills by the end of September, which is the end of the fiscal year, we are mandated by the Constitution to halt all those programs.

It’s true. The Constitution says that federal spending can’t happen unless Congress approves it. So here’s where we’re at. The House under Republican majority has only passed one out of 12 appropriation bills that it needs to have on the president’s desk by the end of next week to avoid a shutdown. By comparison, when Democrats were in charge back in 2019, by this time, we’d already passed funding bills covering more than 90 percent of federal spending programs.

But today, unfortunately, the extreme right in the House is once again trying to govern by hostage taking, seeking to force harsh cuts to programs that our families count on, like child care, education, food assistance programs for older Americans and more. And if these extremists don’t get their way, they are saying they are willing to let the government shutdown. Actually, a lot of them have said publicly that they want this to happen.

But I know some of you are thinking. So what? We have had shutdowns before. Is it really that bad? Yes, they are really, really bad. First off, there are thousands of workers, including more than 180,000 in California who would go without a paycheck for the duration of any shutdown. And it does not just affect federal workers more than 40 million Americans rely on federal food assistance like SNAP benefits that would be at risk if the USDA has to shut down as we know from previous shutdowns.

There are also dangerous economic ripple effects. The last shutdown reduced economic activity in our country by $11 billion. The 2013 shutdown cost our economy 20 billion, and shutdowns can cause shipping delays, interruptions to commerce, and have impacts to our small businesses and housing sector. In short, Americans would face disruptions to important benefits. Many private businesses would have to alter their operations, and federal workers across the country would be furloughed and go unpaid.

I am committed to preventing this avoidable crisis here in Washington, and I will be working to get Congress to do its most important and fundamental job of keeping the lights on, and keeping our government open. Stay tuned for more updates.

CHANGE IS ON THE HORIZON for the State Street undercrossing of Highway 101. This October, construction will begin on the Vision Zero State Street Undercrossing Project, with active construction times between 7am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Access for vehicles and cyclists will be maintained in both directions, with pedestrian access offered on the west sidewalk.

Projected to be completed in 2025, the undercrossing project will enhance the connection between downtown Santa Barbara and the waterfront area. Changes will include widening sidewalks from eight feet to 15 feet and increasing on-street bike lanes from five to seven feet in width with a two- to three-foot protected buffer. There will be one vehicle lane in each direction, a painted median for emergency access, and reconfigured turn lanes at both Yanonali and Gutierrez Streets, as well as new pedestrian safety lighting and protective railings, reconstructed bridge columns, new plantings in the upper planters, irrigation repairs, street tree removal and replacement, and modifications to the intersections at State and Gutierrez Streets and State and Yanonali Streets to reduce crossing distances for pedestrians. www.santabarbaraca.gov/StateStUndercrossing

Legends Gala

By Sigrid Toye / Special to VOICE

TRADITION OF HONORING INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS,

the 7th annual Granada Theatre Legends Gala was the center of the excitement on the evening of Saturday the 16th. The 2023 Gala honored Philanthropic Legends: Brooks and Kate Firestone; a Legendary Cultural Institution: the Ensemble Theater at the Old Vic, and Fannie Flagg, famed actor/writer/director, as the Artistic Legend.

“It’s a tremendous honor to celebrate Brooks and Kate Firestone, Fannie Flagg and Ensemble Theatre Company tonight ... their contributions have not only enriched our lives, but have forged a legacy and remind us of the transformative power of the arts,” stated Palmer Jackson Jr., Chairman of the Granada Theater Board, expressing the raison d’etre for all who attended.

Entering the Granada Theater for the reception, ballet costumed dancers of the State Street Ballet greeted the evening’s guests. As the doors opened to the theater, a colorfully decorated stage populated with festive tables and dramatic lighting filled the scene in preparation for the dinner and program to follow. Tapped as the evening’s Master of Ceremonies was one of our town’s most eminent crowd pleasers, Andrew Firestone.

The first tribute, as Philanthropic Legends, was to Brooks and Kate Firestone. Arriving from across the Pond with the English Royal Ballet, Kate, a dancer, met Brooks in 1956 at the stage door of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. According to Brooks, it was love at first sight! Marriage and family soon followed and from the Firestone Tire Company the family moved to the Santa Ynez Valley to the establish the Firestone Vineyard, the first winery in the area.

During his career as a vintner, Brooks served as a Santa Barbara County Supervisor and as a California State

Assembly member. Kate turned her focus to Direct Relief in Santa Barbara during its infancy. This year marks 65 years since Kate danced off the Opera House stage and into Brook’s heart and he’s been singing about it ever since.

“I’m really at a loss for words,” he admitted, “so I asked a few friends to help me.” The entire Santa Barbara Choral Society, illuminated in the balcony, sang the choral Ode To Joy from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony!

As the Legendary Cultural Institution, the honor went to The Ensemble Theater at the Old Vic. The Ensemble Theater Company (ETC) of Santa Barbara began as the Ensemble Theatre Project in 1978 and for the first three years, plays were staged at Trinity Episcopal Church. In 1981, ETC made the 140-seat Alhecama Theatre its home for more than 25 years. Beginning in 2009, ETC undertook a $12.6 million renovation of the Victoria Hall Theater, opening its new 300-seat home, the New Vic, in 2013. Presently the New Vic is a venue for dance, music, film, and lectures and became an Equity theater in 1989, Santa Barbara’s sole professional theater company. The company, which presents five plays per season, has produced American and West Coast premieres, and has garnered numerous awards over the years. Accepting the award was ETC Board President, Bob Turbin concluded, “Live theater remains an experience not found anywhere else.”

Honored as Artistic Legend, the famed Fannie Flagg took the stage. To the delight of the crowd she revisited much of her career with touches of deprecating humor beginning with her first play, written directed, and starred in as a fifth grader in her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. She admitted to loving every minute! By the time she was nineteen, she was writing and producing television specials. Soon she was writing and appearing on Candid Camera. Her distinguished career as an actress and a writer in television, films, and the theater followed.

If that wasn’t enough, Fannie decided to try her hand at narrative fiction which began by winning first place for a short story written at the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. Now a best selling author of a host of novels, including Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, she continued as a scriptwriter for the movie version, was nominated for Academy and Writers Guild Awards, and won the highly regarded Scripter Award for best screenplay of the year.

In closing Flagg referred to a recent New York Times article suggesting that Santa Barbara housed the ‘newly wed and nearly

dead.’ “Well,” she laughed, “I guess we’re dead ‘cause we’re all living right here in heaven!” That said it all for our town’s creative resources and was an end one fantastic evening!

Sigrid Toye volunteers for the Breakwater Flag Project. She is on the board of directors of the Maritime Museum and participates in Yacht Club activities. An educational/behavior therapist, Sigrid holds a Ph.D in clinical psychology. She loves all things creative, including her two grown children who are working artists.

Presqu’ile Winery: An Island of Delight

By Richard and Amanda Payatt, Special to VOICE

MADISON MURPHY HAD TO ADMIT that Presqu’ile was about the worst name that he could have picked for the winery. You can’t spell it. You can’t pronounce it. Siri makes a total mess of it. But the wine? Oh, the wine is just the opposite. The wine is fantastic.

Presqu’ile translates out of French as ‘peninsula,’ or more literally, almost an island. And that is what the winery itself is. It is almost an island of tranquility and beauty at the top of a hill, overlooking a distant ocean twelve miles away across the Santa Rita wine region.

The view is worth the visit alone. Cool winds keep the temperature much more pleasant than the hot valley below. Horseback touring. A Mid-Century Modern wine tasting building. And Julie, the French chef at the winery, whips up dishes to compliment the wine. With the aid of a kitchen garden she dug and planted herself on the hill, she cooks at a level one usually sees in great restaurants. We could easily do a food column just on her cooking alone. So, before we even start talking about the wine, you already have plenty of reasons to visit the winery. But, this is a column about wines.

“We are not trying to be Burgundian. We are Californian. But Burgundy wine is our passion. Pinot is why we are here. Pinot was the hook,” Madison says in his easy Arkansas accent.

And any comparisons to be made between their cold climate Pinot Noir and a Burgundian Pinot Noir from Côtes de Beaune would be pretty on target. We were quite impressed with the integration of the flavors and the soft balance of the Pinot Noirs.

The 2019 Bien Nacido is highly drinkable; raspberry, cherry, hibiscus, and mushroom fill the glass.

The 2014 Reserve Pinot Noir has the same notes, but everything is deeper, spicier, and has a wonderful tartness that makes it marvelous. And the price for their 2014 Pinot Noir is quite attractive, even when compared to Burgundy.

As Madison puts it: “You have to have quality in a bottle. An unerring pursuit of quality. No story can sell a bottle; only

quality.”

Pinot Noir is not their only wine. Their Chardonnay is delightful, and again, rather similar in many respects to Burgundian Chardonnay. Think: Macon Villages.

Their Gamay is also very French in style. Think: Beaujolais. The use of concrete eggs to briefly help mature the wine is definitely a big help there.

Their Syrah is also in the cool Northern Rhone style. They also offer Rosé, Rosé sparkling wines, and a pleasant Sauvignon Blanc.

Their winemaker Dieter Cronje is from South Africa. We think his background has allowed him to find ways of approaching the qualities of French wines in the Central Coast that other winemakers can’t seem to achieve.

At present, a two-hour food and wine tasting with Chef Julie’s lunch-sized tray of delights is $68 per person. As of April the winery has dropped the need for reservations, and is now open for drop-in tastings. The website should be updated soon on that point. But why not take the opportunity to visit before the rest of the world realizes that they don’t need reservations? Hop up for a tasting – and plan to make an afternoon of it, rather than just a stop in a string of tasting rooms.

Open Weekdays: 12pm – 5pm (closed Tues); Weekends: 11:30am – 5pm presquilewine.com

11th Annual Heroes of Hospice Luncheon

HONORING ADVOCACY, VOLUNTEERISM, and contributions to Hospice of Santa Barbara, several heroes were named at the 11th Annual Heroes of Hospice Luncheon, at the Rosewood Miramar Beach Resort last Sunday.

2023 Honorees included the Santa Barbara Foundation with the Philanthropy Award, Hospice of Santa Barbara’s Patient Care Services Team with the Staff Award, and a special Lifetime Hero Award for longtime HSB supporter and champion, Charlie Zimmer.

This year, HOH raised a record-breaking $215,000 in funds, to assist with programs and services, completely free of charge, to adults, children, and seniors who are struggling with grief or life-threatening illness.

The luncheon had a special focus on

Celebrating Those We Love and their ongoing impact in our lives, and honored the people and organizations that bring compassion and care, at all levels, to those in need in and near the Santa Barbara community. The demand for HSB’s services continues to grow and fundraisers like HOH allow the organization to reach more community members.

To learn more about HSB, please visit hospiceofsb.org.

When a Return to Normal Growth?

By Harlan Green, Special to VOICE

THERE IS SO MUCH CONFUSION in the financial markets, as well as with consumers, over what comes next and little history to compare because we are recovering from a world-wide pandemic, the first one since the Spanish flu pandemic of the 1920s.

So, it is useful to conjecture on the future of interest rates—namely the Fed Funds rate that the Fed has jacked up to 5.25 percent and the Bank Prime Loan rate—which controls consumer spending and therefore economic growth and job formation—to determine what the U.S. economy might look like over next few years.

did a higher unemployment rate, before unemployment descended to its current three percent lows after the Great Recession (2009), and which is causing the current growth spurt.

Economic growth is accelerating again but the Fed must begin to lower their rates sooner rather than later for growth to continue.

Economic VOICE

By Harlan Green

The Wall Street Prime Rate which moves in tandem to the Fed Funds rate, is used by most banks to set both short-term credit card as well as longer-term installment loan interest rates for goods such as autos and appliances. And a high Prime Rate really puts a damper on consumers’ pocketbooks.

It is currently 8.50 percent, up from its pandemic low of 3.25 percent, which ignited so much consumer spending and the mortgage refinance binge in 2020-21.

That is too high for any sustained growth. The Bank Prime Loan Rate fluctuated from 7.5 to ten percent in the 1970s to 2000, as

Avoiding another recession will be the miracle of miracles if they don’t lower interest rates soon, since every recession since the 1950s (ten at last count per gray bars in graphs) was mainly caused by the Fed jacking up their Fed Funds rate and hence the Bank Prime Loan Rate to ‘tame’ inflation, which drastically slowed both spending and lending.

GDP growth expanded 2.1 percent in Q2. And just last week S&P Global Market Intelligence raised its third-quarter GDP estimate by nearly two percentage points to an annualized rate of four percent, citing strong retail sales data. It moved its annual estimate up slightly to a historically strong 2.3 percent.

Inflation should continue to decline overall because of the Fed’s past rate hikes, though consumer prices rose again in August to reach a 3.7 percent yearly rate, based on last week’s release of the monthly consumerprice index. That marked its biggest jump in

14 months, up from 3.2 percent in July and a 27-month low of three percent in June.

If we want to avoid a recession then history tells us the Fed needs to drop its shorter-term rates, so that the Bank Prime Loan Rate returns to its historic norm of five to seven percent, and its Fed Funds rate in the neighborhood of 3.75 percent, which history says consumers and businesses can tolerate for sustained growth.

But that also depends on supply

chains remaining healthy. What about the Ukraine-Russian war? It doesn’t seem to be affecting food and energy prices anymore, since food prices are back to normal and even OPEC had to reduce oil production to boost the price of crude oil which means oil supplies are plentiful.

Returning to a more normally functioning economy also means the Fed must return to a more normal Fed Funds rate to avoid another recession, which hasn’t been the case in the past.

Now, That’s a Good Question!

By Rita Serotkin / VOICE

RECENTLY, A FRIEND FROM NEVADA doubted that farmers markets were really run by local farmers. That seemed at odds with my own experience, so I visited the Santa Barbara Farmers Market in Goleta and turned to the Internet to find out more about the history of the markets and our own here in Santa Barbara.

Farmers markets have been in existence since ancient Egypt and Greece and first came to North America in the 1600s. Today, there are over 700 Certified Farmers Markets in California, eleven of which are here in Santa Barbara County. The first Santa Barbara Farmers Market (SBCFM) opened in 1979 at the Santa Barbara Mission and was one of the first to open in California.

To determine whether the SBCFM truly represents local growers and producers, I went to the Sunday market in Goleta and spoke with a number of the vendors. One stand in particular attracted my attention for its owners’ friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to engage with their customers— California Coast Naturals and Oleavicin—an expansive family business with grandparents, children, and grandchildren all bustling around and having a great time.

A fabulous story opened when I began talking with the California Coast Naturals owners—Craig and Cindy Makela— who represent ten generations and more than 165 years of their family’s involvement in olive growing and processing.

John Emile Goux, founder of the family, recognized the Mediterranean-like climate of our south-facing slopes, and planted the first olive orchard in Santa Barbara in 1851; and many of those first trees are still growing downtown, including two in front of the Presidio! California Coast Naturals is the third olive company that the Makelas have established since the early 1980s, and their nearly 4,000 trees are currently located on over 100 acres of the family’s historic farm, 600 feet above sea level, between El Capitan and Refugio State Beaches. When they started producing olives and olive oils as the Santa Barbara Olive Company near Solvang in 1983, they led the “renaissance” of olives and extra-virgin olive oils in the 1990s. In fact, for 27 years, the Makelas owned the largest specialty olive company in the United States and were featured in the Neiman-Marcus Christmas catalog. Their olives are hand-harvested, sun dried, and cured in the traditional Spanish style, with just salt and water, and their stuffed olives are all stuffed by hand. No chemicals are used and the extra virgin olive oil is cold pressed on site the day it is harvested. California Coast Naturals grows eight different types of olives—black, green and Kalamata --whole, pitted, and stuffed, as well as nine different flavors of pure, unpasteurized, unblended, and unfiltered olive oils, vinegars, and tapenades; and all of their products are certified organically grown and produced in Santa Barbara County, as they have been for more than 40 years.

In 2009, the Makelas formed a new subsidiary company—Oleavicin—as a result of one of their children’s bout with a stubborn cold sore and Cindy’s Shingles experience. All of their products use organic olive leaf extract to create 100% all-natural, non-GMO, family-safe creams and gels that are anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral skin creams, First Aid and bug bite spray, lip balm and gel, and a Shingles gel. Topically applied, they help alleviate the pain and discomfort of eczema, psoriasis, itchy skin, acne, and cold sores without harsh chemicals and dangerous side effects.

The Makelas have a long history of community involvement. They formed the California Specialty Food Association and were inducted into the national Specialty Food Association Hall of Fame in 2018 for their efforts. In addition to being the CEO of California Coast Naturals and Oleavicin, Craig is the past president of the Santa Barbara Trust

for Historic Preservation and has been a guest lecturer at Cal Tech, UCSB, and Santa Monica City College. Cindy was a long-time member of the Board of Directors of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, a position she recently turned over to son Chad, who is also the Chief Operating Officer of both companies.

On a more personal level, Cindy and Craig met when they were students at UCSB and have been married for more than 40 years. They have two sons who live in Santa Barbara and a host of “adopted by choice”—children and grandchildren—who come to visit and help out at the farmers market in Goleta. When asked what prompted them to start their companies, Craig explained that after he got out of college, he felt like he worked really, really hard for others. “I kept thinking, ‘Why don’t I start doing something for myself?’ Then I met Cindy, who felt the same way, and the entrepreneurial spirit was born. I quit a good job while she kept hers to help fund the effort to start our small company. People liked our product and we got lucky.” Cindy’s side of the story is that she feels like olives have always been a part of her life, at least starting in her twenties, “and here I am in my not-twenties…We went from six varieties of plain whole olives to a national brand of over 200 items, which morphed into two other companies. As it has turned out, no one produces organic olive oil any more. It’s all imported. Then we developed our new company, Oleavicin, which brings Farm to Pharma.” Chad Makela, at 33, is COO and manages marketing, sales, packaging, and product development, but he is quick to point out that it couldn’t happen without his parents. “We work as a family. As with anything there are ups and downs, but we always manage to pull through and support each other. I do enjoy working with my parents.”

To learn more about the Makelas and their farm, stop by the Goleta Farmers Market on Sundays between 10am and 2pm or check out their websites at: www.cacoastnaturals.com and www.oleavicin.com.

The Evocative, Playful Mind of Sommer Roman

Artist Sommer Roman brings an exquisite collection from three different threads of her larger body of work to Santa Barbara: new textile-based wall sculptures, Brain Scan colored pencil drawings and Cell Portrait ink drawings.

By Isaac Hernández de Lipa / VOICE

EACH OF THE PIECES

by Sommer Roman, in her solo exhibition at the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara, draws you into a different dimension. The title of the exhibit, Portals, feels right on. Roman works with mundane materials like post-consumer clothing, items found in nature, toilet paper, and domestic building materials. Her clothing wall sculptures, like Internal Portal II (Post-consumer clothing, paper clay, 8x8x3 inches), engage with wild textures, color, and three dimensionality that invites the viewer to look deeper.

Sommer continues the tradition of using cloth as an artistic media, but rather than creating pictorial quilts like Harriet Powers (18371910) or sculptural textiles like Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), Roman deconstructs the cloth,

exposing loose threads, and then builds it up into fantastic patterns that contrast with smooth paper clay or in some cases, mirrors, faux fur, or acrylic paint. The relatively small image attracts you with a push-pull kind of magic.

The majority of the art exhibited here also has a sensual feeling, reminiscent of the flowers of Georgia O’Keefe (18871986), including the colorful Brain Scan drawings and the black ink Cell Portraits. I’d love to be a fly on the wall to watch Ronan’s drawing process for these magical drawings, like Brain Scan A (22”x30” Colored pencil on paper), a fractal maze of shapes, lines and hues.

For the colored pencil Brain Scan drawings, Roman spends endless hours to create “hybridize forms that reference brain scans, doilies, and plant forms,” transforming the brain into “something vibrant, wild, and feminine.”

C o n s i g n f o r a C a u s e B e n e f i t s y o u r f a v o r i t e S a n t a B a r b a r a C h a r i t y

e s i g n e r f a s h i o n c o n s i g n m e n t s , e s t a t e w a r d r o b e s a n d a s s e s s m e n t s I n s t a g r a m : @ l o u i s o f m o n t e c i t o

The Cell Portrait ink drawing series “are translations of microscopic cross-sections of selected plants and parts of human anatomy” which once again Roman deconstructs and constructs, resizing and merging imagery to merge into “a portal, a larger-than-life microscopic portrait.”

In bringing these threads of her work together, Roman re-examines and re-envisions them as portals, portals that draw us into places of deep knowing and innate wildness within ourselves.

Sommer Roman was born and raised in California and has lived in France and on both the East and West Coasts of the U.S. She received her BA from UC Santa Cruz (2004) and her MFA from UC Santa Barbara (2014). She teaches art at Cuesta College and Cal Poly.

The exhibition runs through November 4th, at 229 E. Victoria Street, Santa Barbara. Gallery Hours: Saturdays, 1 –4pm, or by appointment. (805) 965-6307, info@afsb.org.
