Tapley, who has taught at Centre since 1983, is a nationally recognized artist. His paintings are held in museum, academic, corporate, and private collections across the United States.
American Artist Magazine published one of his large still-life paintings on its cover in November 1999 along with a feature article inside. In that article the writer asserts that Tapley "masterfully blends hard-earned classical technique with a vision that is thoroughly modern and personal."
Tapley regularly speaks at art events and judges competitive exhibitions.
