Roberta Savelli, born in 1969, is an internationally-renowned artist who uses painting and drawing to create contemporary portraits and pictorial installations. Using acrylic on transparent gauze, Roberta stages faces or figures of children or adolescents, alone or in groups, immersed in idyllic landscapes.

The creative process begins with a studio photograph which captures the character of the individual in that particular moment, and is then refined by painting.

In her portraits, Roberta captures the uniqueness of the subject and, by using painting in site-specific installations, creates
a compelling spatial relationship. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums in Italy and abroad, including the PAC of Milan.

Her works are included in a book published by Skira and New Trends in Painting (Johan and Levi).

Roberta Savelli Portrait and Photography Session: a session in Milan with the artist to produce a portrait of your loved ones.

The Cause

Consistent with the vision of its founder, M. Crist Fleming, TASIS is committed to transmitting the legacy of Western civilization and the cultures of the world: the creations, results, traditions and ideals of the past that offer a purpose in the present and a hope for the future.

The mission of the TASIS Foundation Board is to assist and promote the education of American and foreign students in the United States and Europe by providing equipment, books, supplies and funds for educational activities, faculty development and facility improvements. The Board established from the outset that, as a strategic objective, it would not allow any TASIS School to become dependent on fundraising to support operational budgets. While it is common in most American independent schools, using an "Annual Fund" to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and operating expenses can create pressure that TASIS chooses to avoid.

This Silent Auction will support the fundraising campaign dedicated to future generations of elementary school children.
