Gallery Reception
Join us and Marissa Voytenko--the Center Art Gallery's inaugural Visiting Artist--for a reception experience that bridges centuries, cultures, and the sacred.
Marissa Voytenko is a Michigan-based artist whose encaustic paintings and sculptural works explore the intersection of the physical and spiritual worlds through striking geometric abstraction. Drawing inspiration from Roman arches, Arabic tile work, Japanese gardens, and sacred traditions like the Daily Office, Voytenko fuses ancient aesthetics with a modern sensibility. Her process--layering, scraping, and burnishing encaustic wax--reveals vibrant hues beneath muted surfaces, mirroring her contemplative practice of prayer.
Learn more about the artist, her process, and the work of her exhibition titled "Sanctuary in the Far Country" at our October 9, 2025 gallery reception. The artist will be there to speak and answer questions of reception guests. The reception is free, no RSVP necessary, and open to everyone!
