With a background in architecture and urban planning, as well as art and photography, Teal Hatheway finds Los Angeles to be the ideal source of subject matter for her paintings. Teale hopes to bring attention to Los Angeles architecture by offering viewers their often unrealized, but always personal experiences of a city on the cusp of understanding its historical significance.

Born in Czechoslovakia, Iva Hladis fled the Communist-controlled country in the mid 1980s. She settled in Los Angeles and found that, although she loved her new found freedom, she missed the sense of history and historical buildings so familiar to her growing up in Europe. She says, “Los Angeles offers very little of it’s history, and what is left is constantly fighting for it’s survival. Creating these architectural drawings, and being a member of the Los Angeles Conservancy, are two ways I work to preserve history here.” More info: www.ivahladis.com
James P. Scott makes compelling urban landscapes from that sliver of time we almost never think about. Each painted narrative describes life in a neglected corner of our ubiquitous car culture. In this corner stand the hieroglyphs of navigation: markers that rich and poor alike rely on to maneuver across the labyrinth that is L.A. The electric Southern California light explodes the colors as years are compressed into an instant at the speed of a passing vehicle. These signs tell their own stories now.
