our local featured artists
We are blessed to be among breathtaking vineyards and numerous farms and ranches, but Santa Barbara Wine Country is also home to an abundance of talented artists. We have the pleasure of hosting the work from many of these artists at the Los Olivos Café.
From July 11th to September 5th, artist Sharon Foster’s show “Simple Beauty” will be on exhibit at the Los Olivos Café. Her art is available for purchase during this time.
Sharon’s Bio: Sharon Foster is a photographic artist and long time resident of Santa Maria, California. She captures stunning photographs as she wanders through the hills and valleys of the Central Coast and around the world seeking just the right play of light and shadow for her images. Each piece is digitally enhanced so the majest of God’s creation, that is so alive in nature, is reflected in a fresh expression of joy and wonder.
