Vicki Malouf? Never heard of her. I called a major Laguna Beach gallery owner I've known for a long time. He specializes in California painters from the early 20th to now. He never heard the name either.
Google suggests she was quite the high society butterfly, flitting seasonally between Palm Springs and Newport Beach.

That said, scads of original oil paintings sell for a song everyday on Estate 360 and comparable estate auction websites.
Good Luck.
