They both seem to be doing fine, but "from the deserts of West Texas" (Teran) doesn't seem like the tagline of a trust funder.
The thing I have observed about LA artists and "creatives" who are featured in the NYT is that they are well-connected, but not necessarily wealthy.
There tend to be repeats; i.e. one person's art will be reviewed one month, and then five months later there will be a spread with their garden, or an opinion piece on work/life balance that quotes them. I assume it's just laziness, or (to be generous) keeping it simple by looking into a NYT pooled rolodex for [LA] [artist] while under deadline.
Probably all it takes is a lucky encounter, or a well-timed press release, and you're "in the system". It seems like Teran has linked to a couple of articles about moving NYC->LA, and has a book coming out with Penguin in June, so there's your peg.
