Jassen Marek (American, b. 1940) was trained at The Art Institute of Chicago and graduated from the American Academy of Art. He became interested in art when his stepmother urged him to take up a hobby, but began to pursue it seriously once he discovered his passion. Marek spent time in the Army, serving in Korea, but found the office work boring, so he spent his free time painting and drawing. After returning to the United States, he took a series of jobs, including working as a designer, first for a toy manufacturer and then at a design firm. Marek won the Union League Civic Foundation award and the Award in Excellence Mainstreams from Marietta College in 1971. He has exhibited throughout the United States.
