A Ford Foundation Fellow, Correa was awarded the prestigious Walters Art Museum Fellowship from the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.
M y sketchbooks are about sentiments. They are about thoughts, feelings expressed “al momento” in visual form. Unspoiled by the cerebral, the intellectual and the real, these small images are a preoccupation of the heart.
My sketchbooks like my emotions follow me.
