Nadia is a 28-year-old queer artist and educator who has been a part of the Brestin community for five years. Born and raised in a Muncie, Indiana, Nadia moved to Brestin to pursue a graduate degree in fine arts at Brestin University, where she now teaches introductory painting classes. Her vibrant and expressive artwork often explores themes of identity, community, and social justice, and has been featured in local exhibitions and publications. When she's not teaching or creating, Nadia can be found volunteering at the local community garden, leading art workshops for kids at the Brestin Youth Center, or sipping coffee at the Velvet Curve Wine Bar, where she often meets with friends and fellow artists to discuss their latest projects and ideas.
