Tori Tasch loves to create. Her studio processes combine hand papermaking, printmaking, and book arts techniques. Making art gives shape and meaning to her life. She supported artists as a mentor resident at RedLine Milwaukee for 7 years and taught at St. Bruno’s arish School 10 years. Currently taking a sabbatical from elementary education to focus on being the best independent art educator. In addition, Tasch has been a resident artist at the Lynden Sculpture Garden and OSUMA. Participating in
residency programs allows her to fulfill the need to work in the studio with the need to be involved. Tasch is currently an artist in residence at Studio 224, State Board Treasurer of Wisconsin Visual Artists and Past President of Milwaukee Area Teachers of Art. Through WVA and MATA she supports the arts by engaging in the efforts to present exhibitions, programs and workshops by/for artists and the community. Tasch’s sculptural books have been exhibited extensively throughout the US, in addition to Japan, Mexico and Canada. Her work is included in private collections at the Brooklyn Art Library, UW-Milwaukee Special Collections, and the Saitama Art Museum. She received a BFA from Carroll College with additional studies at Columbia College Center for Book and Paper Arts. She lives in Merton with her husband and dog. When she isn’t teaching or printing she enjoys gardening, bike rides, reading, travel, stamp collecting, and yoga.
