Carmen Menza is an interdisciplinary artist who transforms natural and artificial light into immersive sculptural experiences. She investigates light as a perceptual, sculptural, and affective medium with sensitivity to the physical and emotional experience of light. Her light interference works share a connection to Color Field painting, using visual immersion, eliminating recognizable imagery, and making color the sole subject. Her installations have been created for the Dallas Arts Tower, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Cedars Union, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, Dallas Aurora Light & Sound Festival, Meow Wolf, UTSW Clements University Hospital, RO2 Art, Carneal Simmons Contemporary Art, and more. She is a TACA New Works Fund Grant recipient, a Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs - Arts Activate Grant recipient, a Cedars Union Artist Residency recipient, and a founding member of Texas Vignette, a non-profit organization that amplifies the work of women artists throughout Texas. She received her BFA in jazz guitar performance from the University of North Texas.
