Born in small town Maumee, Ohio, Talia spent the first part of her life in the Midwest. She studied art and education at the University of Toledo's Center for Visual Arts at the Toledo Art Museum campus. Desperate for more landscape, Talia moved out to Colorado over a decade ago to pursue a Masters Degree in Art and has called Denver home ever since. She explores the concept of preservation of natural spaces in her work. She hopes to bring attention and awareness to the degradation of our precious and fragile environment through her artwork.
