My passion

Nadia graduated with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2020, where she was recognized for her talent with the sculpture area award and the junior of the year accolade. Since then, her work has been exhibited in several galleries, gaining acclaim for its unique approach and ability to inspire meaningful conversations about societal issues.

Nadia's sculptures are renowned for their ability to foster intercultural understanding. By manipulating wood and unconventional materials like human hair, she creates interactive installations that amplify voices and experiences that are often overlooked in mainstream discourse. These installations invite viewers to engage with diverse perspectives, promoting a sense of unity and empathy.

A former artist-in-residence at Goodyear Arts, Nadia's artistic journey began early. She attended art-focused middle and high schools in Durham, North Carolina, graduating from Durham School of the Arts in 2014. After earning her Associate in Arts from Wake Tech Community College in 2016, she pursued her passion for sculpture at UNC Charlotte. Her current work is featured in the group exhibition "My Presence is Present: Interpretations of Afrosurrealism from the American South," curated by @iamkingcarla at the Harvey B. Gantt Center.

Nadia's innovative approach to sculpture not only breaks new ground in the art world but also serves as a catalyst for positive change, encouraging audiences to embrace diversity and work towards a more inclusive society. Through her art, she challenges conventional boundaries and redefines what it means to create meaningful, transformative experiences.
