I was thrilled to be selected for the Visiting Artists Program at The Brooklyn Navy Yard. Which means as an artist I am going to work on several projects within and focused on The Brooklyn Navy Yard and it's tenants. Some of which will be intersecting with and part of other projects such as my next photo feature for Nona Brooklyn which is about the new Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Farm and Apiary at The Yard. 

I feel really grateful to the folks over at Brooklyn Grange and the Brooklyn Navy Yard Center at BLDG 92 for giving me this opportunity to document the amazing work and farming going on at this beautiful Rooftop Farm.
