June 4th – July 19th
Viridian Shores
Lucia de Miguel’s Viridian Shores is a new body of work shaped by imagination, travel, and lived experience. What began in early 2025 as a speculative exploration of idyllic coastlines evolved following an unexpected journey to Indonesia, where the artist encountered landscapes strikingly similar to those she had already begun painting from memory and intuition.
Drawing from personal photography and drone footage, de Miguel transforms aerial perspectives, shifting shorelines, and tranquil ocean scenes into richly layered paintings that balance expansive views with more intimate moments of human connection. Working in acrylic on canvas and paper, the series reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in exploration, place, and emotional memory.
Through Viridian Shores, de Miguel invites viewers into vivid coastal environments that evoke joy, wonder, and a sense of adventure, while also serving as a deeply personal visual record of landscapes that have shaped her experience.

SANTA BARBARA CHANNELKEEPER
Art has the power to inspire, connect, and give back. Each month at Art & Soul, we donate a portion of our proceeds to a charitable organization that reflects our current exhibition or the passions of the featured artist. It's our way of honoring the deeper connections between creativity, community, and compassion.
By supporting Art & Soul, you’re not only investing in meaningful art—you’re also helping to make a positive impact, one exhibition at a time.
This month, we are honored to support SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL KEEPER, a grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the Santa Barbara Channel and its watersheds.
Through science-based advocacy, education, fieldwork, enforcement, and community engagement, Channelkeeper defends our community’s right to clean water and informs, inspires, and empowers people to speak and act for our waterways.
Channelkeeper’s vision is for clean water, healthy habitats, abundant wildlife, and thriving communities. They work to protect the community’s right to clean water by upholding environmental laws, preserve the health and biodiversity of the Santa Barbara Channel and its watersheds by identifying and eliminating pollution sources, prevent adverse impacts to the Santa Barbara Channel from commercialization by guiding policy development at the local, state, and federal levels, build resilience to the impacts of climate change by advancing beneficial solutions and planning for a resilient future, and to inspire community members to care for local waterways through environmental education, collaboration with partners, and volunteer opportunities.
