Third generation Alaskan born artist R. Nelson Parrish, a 29 year old former ski racer and now surfer has piercing blue eyes and chiseled features. Nelson boasts an M.F.A. from U.C.S.B. and is currently featured at a solo art show ‘From the Studio’ at cutting edge home furnishings boutique Cabana Home located in Funk Zone of Santa Barbara. Show runs through 6/24.
Parrish, takes organic wood grain shapes adds bold colored stripes through a process of constant additive, and reductive layering of sanding, painting and high gloss polishing. The end result is stunning! “I am better when I am moving like a race car,” Parrish says “fast is natural for me. I use color in my art as my language. Each piece represents an investment of time and sweat equity!”
Cabana Home owners Caroline and Steven Thompson will host an informal breakfast with the artist on Saturday morning June 20th at 10 a.m. where you can meet Nelson up close and very personal!

Excellent article! Thanks Judy for the great reporting you do on small retail businesses in Santa Barbara and Montecito. I've often read your column and discovered new businesses, or special events going on in Santa Barbara that I other wise would not have known about.
Santa Barbara is lucky to have you!
Best regards,
Steve Thompson

One understands that life seems to be not cheap, but we need cash for different things and not every one gets big sums cash. So to receive good loans and just commercial loan should be good solution.

*=*Open innovation has not spurred improved innovation implementation, just justified spending less with no real plans to achieve growth. With open innovation, of course, failures no longer belong to the company because the "open environment" didn't produce anything - hence innovation simply wasn't possible .=*=
