*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:

I would appreciate your help in spreading the word, and would love to see you participate in the fun and free GO weekend:

• 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!
