Thanks to Beau LeBasse for inviting me to blog on dailyDuJour!

I went to Natalia Fabia’s opening at Corey Helford last weekend – the show continues through March 14, 2009 and should not be missed!  My friend painter Trevor Young is doing a painting sabbatical in LA and I wanted him to experience her work.  There was as LINE AROUND THE BLOCK when we arrived!  Luckily, the powers that be pulled us out of the line and whisked us inside. 

The paintings (what I could see of them) were fantastic!  I want to go back to really get a closer look – check them out online: http://www.coreyhelfordgallery.com/#/show/current/

Natalia looked fabulous too!

I LOVED her chandeliers!  Before I knew it I was talking to Bruce Helford about which one I wanted.  I think we all have to do our part in keeping the art scene alive by buying the art that we love.  After all, the chandeliers are only $350-400 each!  I was talking to Liz McGrath and she and Morgan Slade got one too.

I was really happy to see Shawn Barber and Kim Saigh there amongst countless other artist friends and collectors.
