Tai was born and raised in the Ohio River valley of Appalachia. As a young adult she moved to Washington State and has been a Pacific Northwest resident ever since. At an early age, she found that art offered her a way to communicate where words failed to encompass all that she wished to express. It imbued her with purpose. She completed her first master copy at the age of 9 –the isolated image of God’s hand touching Adam’s in Michelangelo’s masterpiece “The Creation of Adam”. At the age of thirteen, her father passed away by suicide. This traumatic loss has echoed throughout her life and has inspired her to seek understanding of how we may be better able to treat and heal mental anguish through more creative means of utilizing our technology. Incorporating classical and imaginative realism techniques with themes of transhumanism and the collective unconscious, her work illustrates the underlying connections between us and the divine, and how we may access these deeper layers of reality through our coevolution with technology. She is currently enrolled in a classical drawing and painting intensive under the Instruction of Juliette Aristides.
