Born and raised in Santa Barbara, Cinzori has followed her love of the ocean and its surroundings through her work in the field of arts and design for more than 30 years.

Her jewelry is handcrafted and designed in her Santa Barbara studio and can be found in several retail locations along the California Coast or online at oceanjewelsb.com.

Partial proceeds from Cinzori’s sales are donated to local nonprofit organizations working to protect the ocean and the Santa Barbara community.

Sylvia, who is also from Santa Barbara, said she feels a deep connection to the inherent splendor of the local coastline.

As an instructor for Arts Outreach in the Santa Ynez Valley, she has helped children in local schools develop their talents as artists. She has taught drawing, watercolor, acrylic painting, collage, and ceramics classes.

More recently, Sylvia has been creating stained glass, ceramic mosaic animals, and landscapes on stone and wood. She also uses soft pastels to capture the beauty in the local scenery. Follow Sylvia @ginasylviaart.

West has been photographing people and places for more than 40 years. While her true love is portrait and music photography, she said her love of landscape photography grew during the pandemic.

For about 12 years, West has lived in Santa Barbara, where she can capture nature’s beauty in her artwork, and the colors of the Pacific Ocean dominate her collection.

West regularly travels the coast, but the beauty of Santa Barbara is exhibited in most of her images. Learn more about her photography at loriwestphotography.com.

Throughout the year, the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum presents pop-up events featuring ocean-themed art, jewelry and books created by the local artists and authors. The events are free and open to the public.
