o Douglas Dubler, a fashion and beauty photographer who was mentored by Ansel Adams and Isamu Noguchi in his early creative life;
o Wesley E. Johnson, a painter and UCSB graduate whose works have been widely exhibited throughout the Western United States including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and
