Title & Artist: “Inspired by Noa” - by Tali Minelli

Medium & Size: Collage, paper on wood. For indoor display only. 19" x 8"

Artist Statement: When our children were young, we enjoyed finding inspiration in nature walks, city adventures, museum explorations, and each other. Today, the same holds true. I revel in the young adults they have become and I am constantly inspired by their interests and individuality! Noa started creating in collage when she was in high school and has developed a wonderful style of her own. This cod was inspired by her work

Artist Biography: Tali Marcus Minelli was born in Jerusalem, Israel. She came to the United States as a child with her family for a sabbatical. As these things happen, the planned year turned into five, and while the rest of the family returned to Israel, Tali remained in the U.S. to complete her B.S. in Graphic Design at the University of Cincinnati. There, she met her husband of 30 years, Mark Minelli. After graduation, they relocated to the Boston area to pursue careers in Graphic Design, and then moved up the coast to Marblehead to start their family.

Today, Tali is the proud mother of three grown children—Ari, Maia, and Noa. She is the founder and primary instructor at ThinkArt and is a published author of a children’s art activity book. Tali divides her time between family, work with her husband at his mission-driven Boston branding firm, Minelli Inc., and mentoring students at ThinkArt, her art studio in Marblehead.
