TAJ'

Taj got her unusual moniker from her surname Tajanlangit, which means "to dwell in heaven" and like her name, this artist's works are just unique and different. She was married to a Swiss Chef named, Christoph Locher in 1995 and started running a small business on Boracay in 2000.

Taj birth name is Maria Teresa Tajanlangit, was born and raised in Manila.She spends time on Art, a subject in which she excelled in school. That talent also led her to pursue a course in Interior Design.

Having worked and designed furniture for famous stores in Europe and America, Taj still produces some handicrafts on her spare time and enjoys working with people who shares the same gift and passion.

In June 2006, Taj ventured into another work of Art. She created PELAGGIA, a haven for artists and art enthusiasts. Pelaggia, such an exotic name came from her grandmother's Pelagia Europa Tajanlangit who used to run a huge farm in Iloilo in 1930's. Pelaggia, now a unique concept of an art gallery located in Tagaytay City is full of artworks made by our own talented local artists. It is where they gather, unwind, laugh and work together on weekends.

Taj believes in positive thinking and likes the company of happy and creative people. Her works clearly reflect this frame of mind and desire. She's the best person to ask "where to go" for dining or for a short vacation. Good food and wine calms her down. Her close peers wondered "why from Ariel,the Little Mermaid to Pocahontas?" (from Boracay to Tagaytay) Such leap can be answered by deeply knowing her. She is not only running an art gallery but also quietly supporting farmers and helping other religious organizations. "her depth makes her shallow from the outside".

Taj uses frequent trips abroad not only to discover new places but also to learn more about art and seek inspiration from her favorite artists. Close friends and family find out that shes away again somewhere when they dont get replies from their messages.

In a stroke, Taj could fly off anywhere. Just call it "spontaneous expression".
