Napa Valley: Portrait of a Community

Santa Fe artist Patrick McFarlin’s innovative public painting salon, held in the Manor House over the course of eight weeks during the spring of 1998, resulted in over 100 painted and drawn portraits of people who live and work in the Napa Valley, with accompanying literary portraits by wine writer Rod Smith and poet Theresa Whitehill. An exhibit of the work opened at the Napa Valley Museum in January 1999, became the subject of a CBS Special, and has traveled to venues in Atlanta and Philadelphia.
