Biography

Award-winning visual artist Tim Nardelli is not only an artist, but a filmmaker as well. Passionate about drawing and painting since an early age, Nardelli quickly developed prodigious technical skills and an artistic style which was increasingly influenced by movies. In high school, his love for art blossomed even further as his interest in filmmaking eventually led him to discover the world of comic books and graphic novels, which combined the storytelling of cinema with his talent for visual art. With the advent of digital painting, Nardelli found a perfect media to express his creativity. His work in this new form of technology was honored with the 2003 Golden Key, a prestigious award bestowed by Scholastic, the publishers of the Harry Potter book series. Nardelli considered it a privilege to accept his award at the official ceremony at the Kennedy Center.

To understand the role of comic books in different cultures, Nardelli studied abroad in Japan and France. His college artwork was exhibited in both Lacoste and Savannah and one piece remains in the Savannah College of Art and Design's permanent collection to this day.
