For Our Kids

August feels like a gentle reset, a final exhale of summer before the school bells ring and routines return.

It’s the season of prepping backpacks, syncing calendars, and squeezing in one last beach day. And for families in Santa Barbara, it’s a reminder of just how special it is to raise children in a place that blends creativity, culture, and community seamlessly.

This month, we celebrate the magic of childhood and the people and programs that help nurture it. Our cover features Pedro De La Cruz, a gifted local artist whose vibrant work channels the joy, imagination, and resilience of youth. His story is a reminder that creativity—when fostered early—can shape not just art, but identity and community impact.

Inside, you’ll find resources for parents, from our curated round-up of after-school programs to a beautiful late-summer salad recipe from Santa Barbara Longevity, perfect for family dinners. We also highlight the vital work of Angels Foster Care, an organization offering safety and healing to some of our region’s most vulnerable children. Their story reminds us that supporting families comes in many forms and it takes a village.

At Santa Barbara Coast Magazine , we are deeply committed to connecting local families with the people, places, and ideas that make our community extraordinary. Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or someone who believes in investing in the next generation, this issue was made with you in mind.

Here’s to new beginnings, creative energy, and the boundless potential of our kids.

Warmly,

August 2025

The classic town square has attracted popular Central Coast businesses to Carpinteria, including favorite restaurants and vendors— all small businesses, not big-box stores.

second chance A IN COLOR

ARTICLE BY ANNA MARIA STUMP
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSH GRUETZMACHER

Pedro de La Cruz didn’t set out to become an artist. In 2012, he was working in the accounting department of a local company, crunching numbers by day and quietly creating by night. But somewhere in between spreadsheets and late-night sketching, something shifted. “I felt like I had a second chance at life,” he recalls. “I grabbed it like a new graduation. I realized my passion could become a career.”

Born in Tijuana, México, De La Cruz always carried an artistic eye, seeing beauty where others saw the ordinary. Moving with his family to the US as an adolescent, De La Cruz recognized new possibilities in his novel and expanded environment.

A self-taught artist whose creative instincts were shaped by his grandfather, an architect, Pedro has since emerged as one of Santa Barbara’s most dynamic visual storytellers.

His work, often marked by vibrant colors, symbolic imagery, and expressive eyes, is captivating. Each representation of his subjects has eyes full of wonder and joy—an observation I share with him. In his humble nature, De La Cruz says, “You saw something I never really noticed,” a testament to the layered beauty in his work and the power of art to reveal more than even the artist knows.

For De La Cruz, art is not just a visual experience—it’s a language of memory, reflection, and hope. A painter, muralist, and community advocate based in Santa Barbara, De La Cruz’s work is layered, both literally and metaphorically.

Much of De La Cruz’s work is constructed from hope. In one piece, elegantly displayed on one of his many striking studio walls, he depicts a simple act: receiving a peach from a basket. “It’s not just about fruit,” he says. “It’s about yearning for an ideal place, a world where joy is accessible and abundant.”

Color plays a central role in that vision.”Colors are my talent,” he says simply. “If the world around me gets sadder, I

paint brighter. I try to bring light, even when things are dark.” When global or local events weigh heavily, Pedro turns to the canvas not to reflect despair, but to offer an alternative. “I go the other way,” he says. “I try to bring happiness and joy. I find that people then gravitate towards you.”

That authenticity carries over into his work ethic. When asked about honoring the desires of customers and commissions, he smiles and says he aims for a Trader Joe’s-style attitude: “Just say, yes! If a customer sees a piece and is inspired but wants the background to be different or a child to be painted next to the adult, I paint this and create the work that will inspire.”

De La Cruz’s work doesn’t solely reside in galleries and on the walls of smitten customers—it lives in the community. Community engagement, for De La Cruz, is not a separate chapter of his career; it’s woven into the canvas of his practice. “I believe in putting out good energy and meeting people,” he says. “That’s how you figure out how the machine works—how everything is connected. And you learn that none of it is easy.

But the community is the most important thing. I embrace this city. It has given me so much.”

When asked about lingering themes from his childhood, Pedro describes a painting of two boys—one younger, playing marbles, and one older, studying with books, more mature. Initially unsatisfied with the piece, he reworked it until it reflected something deeper: “They both complement and need each other. The younger boy needs knowledge from the older boy, and the older boy needs the playfulness from the younger. That’s how I see myself. That’s something I still carry. I kept this piece.”

It’s not unusual for De La Cruz to keep pieces like this—works that carry meaningful moments that he sees as a running timeline of his life. “I started keeping a collection of my own art,” he shares. “There are some stories I’m not done telling yet.”

As for legacy, De La Cruz pauses before answering, “I hope to inspire artists, the new generation of artists. I hope to inspire people to explore their dreams.”

As Santa Barbara embarks on its lively August Fiesta, De La Cruz has curated a lively Fiesta collection. “It will be full of color and joy! I want to emphasize in these paintings happiness and the celebration of life. I want this collection to embrace the music and blessings of the community.” De La Cruz sees his tapestry of artistic expression as an uplifting metaphor: “It’s a celebration for all the good things.”

FOSTER CARE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME

ANGELS FOSTER CARE

“Every child deserves the best start to their life,” says Elizabeth Moss, Angel’s Foster Care Communications and Development Manager.

A nonprofit foster family agency celebrating nearly 20 years in business, Angel’s Foster Care supports families who foster

can create a healthy attachment,” Moss explains. “That is essential for healthy development.”

Because of their focus on toddlers and infants, social workers have smaller caseloads, allowing them to offer intensive, intimate support. “They

“HAVING A PRIMARY CAREGIVER CAN CREATE A HEALTHY ATTACHMENT.”

infants and toddlers in Santa Barbara County. The organization, founded by local business owner and former nurse Meichelle Arntz, aims to provide the best care for each child.

“Foster care is really challenging, but Angel’s makes it less challenging,” says Anna Jordan, an Angel alum and board member. “And that was a huge gift to me and my kids.”

Angel’s is unique in that it works specifically with babies and toddlers under the age of three and sibling sets up to five years old. It requires one full-time parent in the home, as many of the children placed with their families may have experienced trauma at an early age.

Most importantly, Angel’s families are required to commit to caring for the child until they are reunified or adopted. This extra step articulates the nonprofit’s mission centered on attachment-based models that nurture the whole child.

As Arntz saw firsthand as a court-appointed special advocate (CASA), many children placed in foster homes are shuffled around constantly and often separated from siblings. “Having a primary caregiver

really walk alongside [our Angel’s families],” says Moss. That includes everything from attending court hearings to coordinating necessary medical and therapeutic appointments, as well as facilitating supervised visitations with first families, including providing transportation. “We wrap our arms around our families,” says Moss. “When they’re supported, they have a higher chance of success.”

Santa Barbara County has about 400450 children in foster care. About 35% of those children are under the age of six. Many of the services offered by Angel’s are customized to a greater extent than what the county can typically support. This extra level of care means the nonprofit is always in need of people to invest in their mission.

An investment in Angel’s means an investment in the youngest members of our community, and as Moss asks, “What better way to invest in your community?” Because relationships don’t end at reunification or adoption—that’s just the beginning.
