As a parallel to Tashis‚ training in Tibetan calligraphy, he worked as an apprentice to Sherab Palden Beru, a master in Thanka painting and temple decoration. The working relationship spanned some 15 years on the construction and decoration of the main temple at the Samye Ling Tibetan center in Scotland, although this sometimes employed modern techniques, like screen printing, the end result is classically traditional. Tashi acted as a go-between, translating the instructions of his teacher to the direction and application of the elaborate designs in the temple. This knowledge was furthered with his visits to Tibet, Nepal and Northern India, where many new temples are still under construction. On one particular trip to India, he was privileged to study under a master of ancient Sanskrit - an artistic form used in temple decoration, which is preserved by only a handful of practitioners in the world today. Since the establishment and maturity of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, other centers have demanded a higher standard of interior design and decoration. This has lead Tashi to work on projects in Dublin, London and Brussels. Tashis‚ art direction of these projects employs others with skills, such as plaster casting and fine woodwork, sometimes-commissioning woodcarving and fine metalwork in Nepal. Another area of work has been with Western interior design of private homes, for this Tashi often adopts a more Zen like approach, toning down the typical bright Tibetan colour pallet, he considers space just as important as rich decorative pattern. The use of colour theory and placement of image has almost become a science to Tashi. This involves the application of Feng Shui, which has evolved into I.P.D consultation (Inter Personal Dynamics) in corporate and private interiors, this considers, not only the decoration design, but the activity and relationship between persons within the interior environment.
