*I am so excited to announce my participation in GO - a new project at the Brooklyn Museum, taking place in neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn. During GO, Brooklyn-based artists will open their studios to the community on September 8–9, 2012. Community members registered as voters will visit studios and nominate artists for inclusion in a group exhibition to open at the Museum on Target First Saturday, December 1, 2012. Visit the GO website to learn about how you can take part in this borough-wide project.
My artist profile and studio information can be found here:

- Register to vote & add my studio to your itinerary
- Gather your friends, neighbors, families and colleagues and come visit my studio over the GO open studio weekend
Many thanks!
