About Sasha Tai

Sasha Tai is a self-taught painter who is a 2nd generation Chinese-American from Redmond, Washington.

In 2023 Sasha was granted a solo art exhibition when the Executive Director of Redmond’s Centro Cultural Mexicano noticed Sasha painting there.  Sasha had brought in an oil portrait she was working on to Centro's open teen art studio to complete. The Executive Director was deeply impressed with what she saw and asked Sasha if she had completed other paintings.  She responded that she had completed many.  This is how Sasha  was able to debut her extensive artworks at 17 years old with a public solo exhibition. 

Sasha is currently a 2nd Year Art major at Cornish College of the Arts at Seattle University. 

Her creative passions also include music as a self-taught musician. In 2022 and 2023 Sasha was hired by the City of Kirkland as a solo performer to sing songs with her guitar for their annual Kirkland Summer Concert Series.

Artist Statement:

As an artist and observer, I believe that there are so many ways that we are inherently connected to our natural world, ways that our thought patterns and internal rhythms parallel the cycles of nature and invoke this sense of liveliness. Through my art, I aspire to portray this feeling as a whole in not just the portrait, but the entire painting, using factors like color and facial expression to convey a certain message or emotion. I aim to shine a light on the things, both physically and conceptually, that I feel we should pay more attention to as a society.
