Heel Drawing on Baby Daytons
, 2018
Weiss Berlin, Berlin
Booth #8.05
I don’t know why I love this so much but I do! It reminds me of all the high heels I would draw in my sketchbooks in high school, fantasizing about my future glamorous life that has yet to materialize…

I’m a sucker for works on paper and this one got me. I love the smoke detail.

Jessica’s paintings are so subtle and grounding – there is something about them that keeps bringing me back to her work.

I’m obsessed with Naotaka’s drawings! I was first introduced to his work through The Box. These are gems!

Creative Growth, Oakland
Booth #9.06
Creative Growth in Oakland is an amazing non-profit that serves artists with developmental, mental, and physical disabilities, providing a professional studio space for artistic development, gallery exhibition, and representation. CG is always my favorite booth to visit at NADA and this expressive painting by Dan Miller caught my eye.
HILARY PECIS
Bookcase with Bouquet
, 2018
Halsey Mackay Gallery, East Hampton
Booth #6.05
A painting by Hilary is definitely on my wish list… Excited to see how this young, LA-based artist develops.
HIEJIN YOO
A Good Excuse to Get Close to Each Other
, 2018
Half Gallery, New York
Booth #9.10
Heijin is a Korean, LA-based artist I’ve been watching. Her colorful paintings always hold my attention and the titles she comes up with for her works always make me chuckle. The works are often deeply personal yet completely relatable. I want to see more!
DAVID LEGGETT
Until the Day (Save Me a Plate)
, 2018
Shane Campbell Gallery, Chicago
Booth #3.06, 4.03
I love David and anything he creates. I have one of his drawings in my home and it makes me so happy. While often satirical to the point where you might actually laugh out loud, the works deal with very serious social and political issues. The way he references pop culture to communicate these ideas is so clever.
