Gwenda Maree MacDougall
Internationally exhibited Australian Artist, Gwenda Maree McDougall draws her inspiration from the treasures she finds on her constant worldwide travels and the memories they evoke. However, it was the Red Tricycle that she saw in a shop window in Melbourne, Australia in 2003 that was the visual catalyst for her creative obsession with all things vintage and took her on an artistic ' three-wheeled journey ' for the next several years.
Since then her originals and editions have been exhibited in Galleries in both Melbourne and Sydney, commissioned to decorate a large Hotel in Perth purchased by English Fashion Doyenne, Paul Smith and shown to great acclaim at her sell-out show during Miami's Art Basel in December 2008.
In April 2010 Rehab Vintage Interiors™ are excited to present Gwenda's most recent reincarnation of the Red Trike'. They are a charming mix of original oils on linen and Limited Editions on canvas created in the style of antique French Posters.
The childhood memories come flooding back upon viewing these works for both men and women, unyet they have a contemporary 'soft' edge to them with her commanding use of colour and graphics next to the weather-worn inimitable Red Trike.
Gwenda will be in L.A. attend the opening event at Rehab on April 9th. Or you may wish to meet with her and discuss her work prior to and after the opening

Alexandra Becket
Textile artist Alexandra Becket creates one of a kind hand painted fabric wall hangings, inspired by the midcentury modernist architecture of California. Alexandra was born and raised in Los Angeles, from a family rooted in design and architecture. Her grandfather, architect Welton Becket, designed some of LA's most iconic buildings including the Capitol Records building, the LAX Theme building, and the Pan Pacific Auditorium. For this installation, she is showcasing some of her favorite buildings by Becket and other California architects, including John Lautner, William Cody, and AC Martin.

Sam Fielding
British photographer Sam Fielding was born in Kent in the early 70s. She had a fascination with visual imagery from a very young age. Sam took a job as an assistant to a portrait photographer, Peter Zownir, and after working for a number of other acclaimed portrait and fashion photographers, Sam took to the road. Her wanderlust led her to Africa and Asia. The photographs from these trips have been shown with great acclaim throughout Europe.
In 1996, her creative curiosity brought her to California, where she has worked in both film and photography for the last ten years.
In this, her most recent retrospective, she embarked in a cross-country road trip on a 1983 Air Stream RV, camera in tow, to capture the America seen here in the exhibit, Made In America. The images show an intuitive perspective into the history of America through a defining time in industry - vehivles, machinery, and nature.
