SONIA ADAMS
Barbara Adams, AKA Madame Sonia Rosinka... psychic-spiritual advisor on Stearn's Wharf since 1951, is the curator and designer of the Divine Inspiration Gallery of Fine Art in Santa Barbara.
She believes that only the present is real, which is where God lives; and that art is a divine inspiration with no mistakes... just infinite choices and perspectives.
Sonia's incredibly wide range of talents include a passion and vision for property renovation and interior design, as well as being the owner of the very successful Chase Restaurant and Lounge on State Street.
As an artist, Sonia is entirely self-taught. She uses her feelings and extraordinary vision to create a magical reality in media ranging from photography, to watercolor, to pastel.
Her works are in numerous private collections, including:
Otis Chandler (Late publisher of the L.A. Times)
Jon Ziehl (CEO PlanMember Services in Carpinteria)
Camilla C. Frost (Board of Trustees, LACMA)
Sonia's works have also been exhibited publicly:
The Arts Fund show 2002
I Madonari 1995-2001

CATHRYN MAILHEAU
Cathryn is a former model and local Santa Barbara artist with a background in interior design, who also works for "Icebreakers Catering Co.", in conjunction with the Chase Restaurant and Lounge.
She is a talented self-taught artist, who showcases her remarkable drawing skills in shows at the " Divine Inspiration Gallery of Fine Art" in Carpinteria, done in collaboration with Sonia Adams and Sharon Spear. Her works are in many private collections.
Her most recent work has been featured in " A Gypsy's Perspective…A World Within A World", and " Magical Moments…Windows of Soul". Both are series depicting scenes of Carpinteria and Santa Barbara done in photo-collage with pastel. Cathryn created whimsical scenes in an extension and contrast of the photo-realism to fascinate and intrigue the viewer into entering a "magical moment".
