MARISSA VOYTENKO
encaustic artist
Marissa Voytenko (b. 1978, Woodland, California) explores the intersection between the invisible and visible through the abstract geometry and the use of encaustic paint. Her work is a "luminous history" that thrives in the unseen, creating a sanctuary for quiet reflection and a persistent, gentle resistance to the fleeting. Voytenko earned her BA in Art from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California and an MFA in Studio Teaching at Boston University, Boston, MA. The artist has exhibited with the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (Chicago), the Dow Museum of Science and Art (Midland, MI) and the Primus Gallery (L'viv, Ukraine). She was the inaugural artist in residence at Calvin Univesity in 2025. Her work has been featured on the cover of the American Psychologist (2017, 2022) and highlighted in Luxe magazine (2024). Voytenko currently lives and works in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
