Where Precision Meets Passion

Hello, I’m Meital Regev, an aerospace engineer turned award-winning coffee artist based in Temecula, California.

After 12 years of crafting technology to explore the skies, I grounded my creativity to pursue an entirely new dream:

Painting with coffee.

Yes, the very thing that fuels our mornings now fuels my art, blending precision with whimsy in every swirl and brushstroke.

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.

Stories Told Through Art

Time and resilience are recurring themes in my work. As a mom to four kids, including a teenage daughter battling a rare cancer, I’ve learned to treasure every moment.

Pieces like “Time Flies” (an hourglass filled with ladybugs) "Testing the Water" and my latest creation, “The Time Keeper”, reflect my perspective on making the most of our fleeting moments.

Serving as an officer in the IDF shaped my discipline and creative drive.

I created strength, resistance, and determination in pieces like "Breaking Barriers"

Art, for me, is both a refuge and a way to connect with others through shared stories and laughter.

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.
