Nadia Menchaca is a recent graduate from Midwestern State University with an emphasis in photography and painting. Her work varies from alternative printing processes to archival inkjet.  Her work focuses on race, gender, and sexuality in hopes that the work she produces will help others view the topic from a new angle. She picks these topics because she has dealt with hatred and cruelty towards being a Mexican lesbian woman. She has been judged for being different than everyone else. Due to the subject of her work, the viewer might feel shock, anger, sadness, or, in rare situations, understanding.
