Martin continues to serve as Artist-in-Residence for Las Artes Cultural Center in Omaha, Nebraska, USA.

Martin R. Correa created "Ancestors Close to the Heart", a collection of images providing the public an opportunity to express respect and admiration of their ancestors. Each one of these images when paired with the image of a Father, Mother, Aunt, or other loved one, who has passed, is a memorial to how important they were in our lives as well as how much they are remembered and loved. When worn so close to the heart, the memory represented by this Keepsake can be a source of comfort and confidence when the world around us becomes a lonely place.
