Tauch born in Schulenburg, Texas, to William and Elizabeth Heimann Tauch.[1] Tauch's father was an early photographer in Texas.
Beginning in 1910 she left home to train in San Antonio with Italian-Texan sculptor Pompeo Coppini and her career was intertwined with his, as student, then apprentice, then partner.[3] Apart from two stints in Chicago (1919–1922) and New York City (1923–1935) she remained based in San Antonio.
