Tennille Dix has experienced a worldwide journey, beginning in her childhood home in Quiogue on the eastern shores of Long Island where she descended from an artistic family that surrounded her with art and creativity.
At 18 she started her own clothing line,leading to a commission to design for Oleg Cassini. When her designs were displayed in Lord and Taylor windows, she decided to pursue her career by enrolling in the Traphagen School of Design in New York
During the 1980’s she launched Tennille Designs,highlighting her unique decorative interior accessories. These were featured in international magazines and sold in some of the most prestigious stores such as Asprey’s, Harrods, Fortnam&Mason, Scully&Scully and Newman Marcus, garnering her an international reputation. Her works were collected by Royalty.
Of late, Tennille has turned her voice and passion into painting abstractly and intuitively, using Venetian plaster ,gold and silver leaf, acrylics and oils. Her creative vision spans life experiences in nine countries where she has resided: USA,Switzerland,Mexico,France,HongKong,Australia, United Kingdom,Ireland,Canada.The Australian sunsets,the tireless buzz and colors of Hong Kong,the infinite white landscapes of Canada, and the endless beaches of Long Island all have had an influence in how she goes about creating her works of art that imbed and juxtapose color,light,movement and nature’s shapes.
