Mariette Teisserenc, born in Grand-Couronne (Seine-Maritime, France), on March 3, 1940, is a French visual artist, painter and engraver.^{[1] [2]} She is also known as "Teisse" or "Teisse-Renc".

Trained as a Graphic designer at Düsseldorf's School of Decorative Arts (1967–1972),^{[3] [4]} she gave up a career in the advertising industry in 1978 to dedicate herself to her artistic practice.

As an abstract painter and advocate for recognition of women artists in France and abroad,^{[5] [6] [7]} she was the President of the French women artists' group "".^{[8] [9]}

Her work is characterized by clean shapes, strong lines and the invariable use of the colour black. It expresses tensions between forms and the search for equilibrium.^[10]

In 1969, Teisserenc was awarded a Second Prize for Graphic-Design from the company Henkel & Cie GmbH (Düsseldorf, West-Germany). In 1971, she received first prize from the Nordwestdeutsche Austellungsgesellschaft mbH (NOWEA, Messe Düsseldorf). In 1983, she received a silver medal from the Bilan de l'Art Contemporain Foundation (Melun-Almont, France).

In 1996, the (part of the French Foreign Affairs Ministry) and the Ministry for Indigenous Affairs of Quebec awarded her a grant to travel to the Nunavik region and study the use of the ulu, a knife specific to Inuit women. She exhibited the results of her work in 1998 at Riverin-Arlogos Gallery, Eastman, Canada.

In 2012, Teisserenc designed the stained glass windows of Saint-Peter and Saint-Paul Church in Brûlon-sur-Sarthe, France.^[11]
