This installation of five line drawing portraits illustrate the community of hardworking Napa Valley residents who help sustain a thriving Oxbow Public Market. In this work, Correa Valencia hopes to offer the viewer an opportunity to see beyond the wonderful products which surround their Napa experience, and challenge them to search for meaningful connections to the people whose contributions often go unseen.

Correa Valencia received her MFA from California College of the Arts. One of four children originally from Arteaga, Michoacán, Mexico, Correa Valencia is a beneficiary of DACA and is on a path to becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States.
