“Local Matters with Mel McMahon” brings you incredible stories about Indiana Owned businesses and community members making a positive impact in Indiana. I’m Mel McMahon, co-founder of Indiana Owned and Indiana Gifts, and today, we are chatting about a very powerful documentary making its World Premier at Heartland International Film Festival on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
“Art and Soul: A Portrait of Nancy Noel” shares the life story of the former Zionsville resident who was an internationally renowned painter, a visionary, and an activist. Director and Producer Alex Kosene and Editor and Producer Sami Mustaklem join me to share how the documentary came to be, the impact they hope it will have on those that see it, and what they hope we gain from sharing more about the world as Nancy saw it. Thanks for listening.”
The first interview with Alex Kosene was released in November of 2021. On this special episode of Local Matters, Mel McMahon chats with Alex and Michael Noël-Kosene, sons of the late Nancy Noel. They talk about the new exhibition now open at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, some of the challenges and successes Nancy had throughout her career, and being remembered as Indiana’s great painter.
