Tassie Marceaux was raised in Beaumont, Texas. She has had many moments of inspiration in her life. As a child she would watch her aunt, Tassie Polk Jones, create beautiful works of art. Later, she was 16-years-old, she had the incredible opportunity to travel Europe with a group of students to study art and architecture.

Tassie began painting in her 30s after an illustrious career in interior design. She took lessons at Lamar Universiry under Jerry Newman, and also received teaching from Jeanette Dryden. On this experience, she said, “I had a number of wonderful teachers. I’ve been painting ever since.” Her use of shadow and light provides intriguing depth and dimension. Tassie’s exceptionally detailed brush strokes enhance her subjects’ character and bring them to life, making challenging mediums look easy.

Her artwork centers around recreating memories on canvas – from her travels in Europe, the US, home in Beaumont, and the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Tassie is grateful to have painted many pieces for clients and art exhibits all over the world. Her art has been shown in Beaumont, Galveston, Houston, the Texas Hill Country, and as far away as Paris, France.

Tassie currently resides in Kerrville, Texas. She is involved with the Kerr Arts and Cultural Center, Hill Country Arts Foundation, DK Fredericksburg, and is a member of the Fredericksburg Art Guild, where her pieces are on display.
