Brooklyn Museum Staff Show 2009

The Brooklyn Museum gave its employees a great opportunity to share our artwork and creative pursuits with each other. We were all invited to participate in a staff exhibition this Spring. Not surprisingly (working at a Museum), a lot of my colleagues make art- the exhibition had over sixty participating artists! There was even a closing reception that took place during May's Target First Saturday (May 2nd). I even had the opportunity to meet the Museum's 1st Fan Members and talk about my exhibited painting.

Below are two images: the first image is of my painting and the second is an installation view of the gallery.
