For decades, TASIS has inspired young artists to continue their work in the visual arts through university and into their professional lives. Many TASIS alumni have become highly successful in their chosen creative fields, whether in traditional visual arts such as painting or photography or in parallel fields such as architecture, graphic design, or in art direction. We hope to highlight different alumni artists in our blog each month. This page will be a directory of our TASIS artists with contact information and links to their websites. It is a work in progress...be patient!
