Safeway, the Start-Up
In 1915, M.B. Skaggs, an ambitious young man in the small Idaho town of American Falls, purchased a tiny grocery store from his father. M.B.'s business strategy, to give his customers value and to expand by keeping a narrow profit margin, proved spectacularly successful. By 1926 he was opening 428 Skaggs stores in 10 states. M.B. almost doubled the size of his business that year when he merged his company with 322 Safeway (formerly Selig) stores. Two years later M.B. listed Safeway on the New York Stock Exchange. M.B. did not let the difficulties of the Great Depression dilute his pioneering focus on value for customers. In the 1930s Safeway introduced produce pricing by the pound, opening dating on perishables to assure freshness, nutritional labeling, even some of the first parking lots.
About the Artist
“I have a terrible memory in general, recalling detail of which exact words were spoken… not my forte. However, I can remember at age three, the scent of the deliciously grape purple smelly marker making my mouth water and just how it sounded being pushed across a crisp white sheet of paper. I still think, dream, and live in color….No matter what has happened in my life, I always can go back to the comfort of my art, like a best friend that’s never gone.”
Nicole Keating has a BA in Hospitality Management from Florida International University and worked in the restaurant business for several years in both Florida and California. The sensory experience of working with, and enjoying the best of food, wine, and interaction has certainly shaped her art. She attributes her fast pace industry experience and the school of life as the driving reasons for pursuing art as her path. “When you hit a wall in life, the spirit leads you to the path of least resistance. For me that path was art it always had been, I just didn’t see it right away.”
Nicole Keating is inspired by the raw, splendid beauty of nature, the delicate dance of light and color, and the dramatic relationships between the two concepts. “The landscapes I choose to paint speak to me. I drive by a spot over and over again until I can’t stand it anymore. I have to paint there because it’s so epic and it makes me feel so alive to drink it in.” She loves to photograph as well, and usually has her canon on hand to capture a present moment. Her style has loosened up as she has grown with her art and as a woman. She loves to play with the flow and intensity of color and movement throughout a painting. “I am greatly inspired by California. The earth here is so ruggedly beautiful and ancient, there’s so much personality in the land. When I paint here it reminds me of what is, that this land has been here for millions of years, and that it gives us everything we need and could want. It makes me grateful to live here.”
Nicole has been exploring her process, growing in spirit, practicing her art, and learning to put herself in the way of the fear that melts to creativity. “There are such fine lines between concepts of duality: love and hate, wrong and right, fear and creativity. My expectations of myself and my artistic expression are constantly changing as I begin to grasp that change is the only constant.” She is not just defined by colorful, textural landscape oil paintings, but has been working with many mediums in figurative and abstract realms as well. “I feel like my landscape artwork is me breathing in the world’s beauty, and my more experimental expressive emotional work is me breathing out and processing the jumble of emotion and life I am experiencing.”
In addition to working as an artist and painting commissions, Nicole is now practicing Mneme Therapy (a directed paint therapy) for Art Without Boundaries In the San Francisco Bay Area. She is working with people suffering from with Alzheimer’s and Dementia, and stroke. She has also started a class for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls to teach them about growing into a strong woman and empowerment through art. She enjoys taking on new projects and giving back. “I draw great inspiration from helping others reach their potential and utilize their own creative spirit.”
New Leaf's Milestones
The New Leaf Story
Scott Roseman came to Santa Cruz in 1977 to attend UCSC. While a student, he joined Our Neighborhood Food Co-op, located on the Westside of Santa Cruz. In the summer of 1984, about three years after he was hired onto the Co-op staff, Scott was diagnosed with leukemia. It took a year to go through the necessary treatment, but towards the end of that year, as the Co-op was floundering, he made an offer to purchase its assets. An agreement was reached that included a process for the store to repurchase Co-op members’ shares through a discount, and on October 20, 1985, the Westside Community Market opened.
The original 3000 sq. ft. store was located on Ingalls Street, in a warehouse building in a mixed residential/light industrial area. With a focus on offering great organic produce and supporting the community, Westside Community Market grew sales. In 1989, Rex Stewart, who had been operating a consulting business for natural foods stores, joined with Scott to begin planning the move and expansion of the business. In May of 1990, Westside Community Market on Ingalls Street closed its doors and three days later, New Leaf Community Markets opened two blocks away on Mission St., more than doubling its size. 19 years later, the store moved back to Ingalls Street, to a new building, three times larger. Now with six stores, Scott and Rex continue to work together and grow New Leaf with innovation, community giving and the best selection of local and organic food on the Central Coast.
Oddyssea has been a member of the Half Moon Bay Coastside Chamber of Commerce & Visitors' Bureau since 2012.

In 1988, Ron, along with his wife Rosanna and daughter Annalisa, began hand-making tortellini and ravioli in their home and selling them to restaurants in San Francisco and all over the Bay Area and Tortellini Originali Pasta Company was born.
