Amaya Capriola, 8th Grader, at Unidos Middle School is the Winner of our “A Very Napa Valley Holiday” art contest. Amaya’s beautiful watercolor uniquely captures the spirit of the season with a local twist. Inspired by her love for animal illustrations, Amaya created a piece that’s both joyful and deeply connected to Napa’s landscape. Thank you to Amaya for sharing her vision and bringing the holiday spirit to life!
