Dear Ms. Shoup,
My name is Adam McLoughlin and I am a New York based assemblage artist. I currently live in Staten Island and had the pleasure of meeting the director of development and community programming for C.O.A.H.S.I. Ms. Monica Valenzuela. During our discussion Monica mentioned ” the invisible dog “and advised me to contact you as you are a curator who has an exceptional eye for bricolage. Any advice, guidance or dare I say interest in my work would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention.
Good luck,
Adam McLoughlin
