n behalf of the staff, artists, photographers, designers, writers and others who have helped to make Passport Gateway Magazine the area’s most popular visitor guide since 1995, we invite you to join the millions of readers who have used our magazine to find the very best places to eat, shop and play in Paradise on the Pacific, where the unique east to west, southern facing coastal orientation creates the Mediterraneanlike abundance of sunshine, moderate temperatures and dazzling beauty that attracts more than six million annual visitors to this seaside sanctuary commonly called the American Riviera.

This is the place that was claimed

by Spain in 1542, when the first European to set foot on the California coast was greeted by gift-bearing Chumash Indians who had thrived here for thousands of years and are today ­4

one of the region’s largest employers and philanthropists. This was the moviemaking capital of the world in the early 20th Century. This is where Charlie Chaplin built a hotel and Jimmy Cagney owned a wharf; where Laurence Olivier married Vivien Leigh and John & Jackie Kennedy honeymooned; where miles of palm lined beaches frame a moving canvass of white sailboats on crisp blue seas and magnificent sunsets silhouette the rich, red terra cotta rooflines that (Continued on page 6)

surround one of California’s most popular Spanish Missions; where you’re 92 miles north of Los Angeles, 332 miles south of San Francisco, and, hopefully, far enough from home to become accustomed to a more relaxed, carefree lifestyle as you explore the sun-drenched beaches, picturesque harbor, gourmet restaurants, shopping treasures, museums, galleries, award-winning wineries and historical sites.

This is also the place where you’ll find charming sidewalk cafes and worldclass restaurants; and, where you’ll enjoy shopping adventures at first-class national and international stores as well as our eclectic mix of locally owned shops, boutiques and galleries.

This is the home of six Nobel Prize winners; media celebrities Oprah Winfrey, Laura Schlessinger and Dennis Miller; entertainers Jeff Bridges, Carol Burnett, Kevin Costner, Bo Derek, Kirk Douglas, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Dennis Franz, Tab Hunter, Kathy Ireland, Michael Keaton, Cheryl Ladd, Christopher Lloyd, Rob Lowe, Eva Marie Saint and Steve Martin; singers and songwriters Jeff Barry, Jackson Browne, Christopher Cross, David Crosby, Barry DeVorzon, Milt Larsen, Bruce Johnston, Kenny Loggins, Jim Messina, Peter Noone and Glen Phillips; TV/film producers and directors Bruce Brown, Chris Carter, Tom Pollock, Ivan Reitman, Joel Schumacher, Dick Wolf and Robert Zemeckis; best-selling authors Jack Canfield and Sue Grafton; sports legends Jimmy Connors, Tommy Curren, Chuck Liddell; business titans Gene Montesano, Charlie Munger, Paul Orfalea, Fred Siegal, Herb Simon and Ty Warner; and, all of the rest of us who live, work and play in one of the world’s favorite destinations. Welcome to paradise. We’re glad you’re here.

Tielle Monette - Multi-Dimensional Artistry

T

ielle Monette is an emerging mixed media artist whose roots run deep in the Santa Barbara community. Although a long-time resident with formal art training, she has only recently begun to spread her wings as an exhibiting artist through the displaying of her remarkable paintings inspired by her deep experiences, personal emotions and vivid imagination.

Although she is a classically trained artist, her earlier focus had been directed towards the graphic art, design and advertising field.

As she reconnects with her formal artistic training, the bold and dramatic elements associated with her design background have become highly influential in her latest TIelle Monette, Hero’s Journey mixed media paintings.

36” x 48” Mixed Media Tielle is drawn towards creating captivating and visually graphic images that break free from the flat surface; this is an overall theme in her art. Ms. Monette’s multidimensional paintings are exciting and distinctly striking with an almost sculptural-like quality.

Each painting has a unique combination of constructive details that Tielle layers and blends, molds and makes, forms and paints, to create the overall image. The artTielle Monette, Emergence ist masterfully unites a variety of 36” x 48” Mixed Media fascinating elements together to fabricate visually thrilling, 3-Dimensional, abstract expressionist paintings that recently received enthusiastic acclaim at the 2015 LA Art Show. Oliver & Espig is very excited to be exhibiting her intriguing multi-dimensional artistry.

Visit Oliver & Espig Gallery of Fine Arts to view the remarkable artistic talents of Tielle Monette. 1108 State Street • Santa Barbara, CA • 93101 • 805-962-8111. ­26

W orld C lass W hale W atching Santa Barbara Channel Named Best Whale Watching by Discovery Channel

F

eatured on Discovery Channel as the world’s best whale watching area, the Santa Barbara Channel abounds with migrating gray whales in the winter and early spring, and the giant blue and humpback whales in the summer and fall months.

The unique East-West configuration of the channel and the converging ocean currents in the area provide ideal conditions during the summer months for the blooming of large quantities of krill and anchovies, the favored food for blue and humpback whales... and Santa Barbara lies right on the path of the migrating California gray whales, making Santa Barbara one of the favored viewing spots on the West Coast.

The smooth jet powered CONDOR Express,

offers whale watching year round and allows plenty of time for up close encounters with not only whales but a variety of Dolphins and occasionally Killer Whales The California Gray whale migration now numbers over 25,000 animals (they are now back to their pre-whaling population). They migrate past the Channel Islands offshore in December, January and February as they move southward toward their calving and mating grounds in Baja.

From mid February through the end of April, the herd travels with the newborn calves close by Santa Barbara as they return to their feeding grounds in Alaska...completing a phenomenal 12,000 mile migration.

Blue and humpback whales are regular visitors to channel waters, with pods of animals being ­32

sighted during summer and fall months. From May through October, blues and/or humpbacks are sighted in the waters surrounding Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Islands... and during the busiest times they are joined by fin and minke whales, so that it often is possible to see all four species of whales feeding in the same area at the same time.

Such a biodiversity in regards the great whales is seldom seen outside of the nutrient rich waters of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The blue whale is the largest animal ever to be on the face of the earth. Measuring up to 100 feet in length and weighing 100 tons or more, blue whales are larger by far than the largest of the dinosaurs and immensely larger than anything on earth today. The largest land animal is the elephant, weighing about 6 tons. The tongue of the blue whale is larger than an elephant...in fact; a blue whale is about as massive as a whole herd of elephants.

Trips to view the whales of Santa Barbara are run aboard the CONDOR Express located in the Santa Barbara Harbor’s Sea Landing dock. One of the most comfortable charter boats in California; the Condor Express features all around seating on deck, a spacious sundeck and a full galley, serving hot and cold meals, soft drinks and a full bar.

All whale watching trips are expertly narrated by naturalists providing you with information about the whales, dolphins and sea birds seen on the trip, as well as the natural history of this fascinating area.

For whale watching trip information and reservations, visit www.condorexpress.com or call: CONDOR Express at (805) 882-0088 or toll free 1-888-77-WHALE.

Rancho San Marcos offers magnificent vistas surrounded only by nature’s beauty adorned by centuries-old oak trees and stunning views of the Santa Ynez River Valley, distant furrowed peaks, and eagles soaring above Lake Cachuma – without a trace of urban development in sight. This world class course, tucked deep into the valley floor of the Santa Ynez Mountains has kept the 60 ­660 0

essence of the old ranch which was located here since the Spanish land grant of 1804.

The simple and pastoral setting combined with the classic game of golf, makes Rancho San Marcos the ideal location to forget the troubles of the world and reminisce on a quieter, simpler time.

At 6,939 yards and a par 71, Rancho San Marcos provides golfers of all skill levels such an enjoyable and rewarding golf experience that Golf Magazine named this Ty Warner property one of the “Top 10 Golf Courses You Can Play”, and, Golf Digest awarded it 4 ½ stars among the top 201 golf courses in the United States. Rancho San Marcos and its stunning scenery have also been featured in national advertising campaigns for both print and television.

Archeological evidence discovered at Rancho San Marcos indicates that Prehistoric hunters and gathers occupied this region for more then 9,000 years. Descendants of the Chumash Indian tribe, one of North America’s most complex hunting and gathering societies, were active participants in Rancho San Marcos archaeological investigations.
