About Meital
Hi, I’m Meital - yes, I really do paint with coffee. (Don’t worry, I save the fresh brew for drinking… most of the time. Unless I confuse my paintbrush water with my espresso cup. It happens. 😬)
I wasn’t always a coffee artist.
Once upon a time, I was an aerospace engineer, yep, rockets and all.
Now I engineer surreal worlds with caffeine instead of kerosene.
My art mixes humor, detail, and a dash of “wait… is that what I think it is?”
I love making people smile, tilt their head, and look twice. My paintings balance between imagination and reality, wild animals and wild ideas.
Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes thoughtful, always brewed with love (and coffee beans)
You’ll often find my work at fine art shows and gallery events, where I pair technical finesse with warm, funny, and engaging storytelling.
My artwork is being shipped globally and maintains a strong presence in the California art scene, where I connect with both art lovers and collectors through in-person exhibitions.
Beyond my painting practice, I'm also a mentor and educator, teaching courses like Painting with Coffee and Art to Print, helping artists create multiple income streams and build thriving art businesses.
When I’m not painting, you’ll find me walking with my family and dogs, camping at the beach, or trying to keep my houseplants alive (spoiler: the plants usually win).
I love enjoying a good cup of coffee, sipping my way through imagination-
one idea, one brushstroke, one good cup at a time.
If you’re here as a collector, thank you for letting my art live with you, it’s the best kind of connection.
And if you’re here just browsing, I hope something makes you smile, sigh, or think, “I need this on my wall.”

A Journey Across Continents and Careers
Originally from Israel, my family and I moved to the U.S. in 2017, leaving behind everything familiar to embrace new opportunities.
With four young kids in tow and a quirky Israeli accent that stuck with me, we navigated this fresh start together.
Little did I know that this leap of faith would lead me to rediscover a love for art that I inherited from my mother who was a teacher but also, a talented painter who passed away from cancer over a decade ago.
Her creativity lives on in me, shaping every piece I create. We shared a common dream - to make a living out of our art.
Why Coffee Art?
My journey to coffee art was anything but ordinary.
While adjusting to life in a new country, I first explored my creative side by opening two Etsy shops- one for handmade jewelry and another for nursery art.
I then ventured into watercolors before discovering the magic of coffee as a medium
The scent of freshly ground coffee brings me back to nostalgic memories of my parent’s Saturday morning coffee scent☕, and now, it infuses my work with warmth, humor, and a touch of surrealism.
From animals to human expressions, my art balances modern aesthetics with a whimsical twist- a signature style that’s uniquely me.
From Aerospace to Art
People often ask, “How does an aerospace engineer become a coffee artist?” The answer is simple: passion.
In 2021, I opened my third Etsy shop, this time dedicated to coffee paintings, and I instantly fell in love with this unique medium.
Today, I’m the proud owner of three Etsy shops and my own online store, where I share my caffeinated creations with the world.
My engineering background lends itself to the meticulous details in my work, while my love for creativity drives the playful and humorous narratives.
'Meital is such an incredibly talented individual! The depth and clarity of her coffee painting is breathtaking! Her attention to every detail shows in each and every aspect of her art...' /Kelli
