Marcy Voyevod is a mixed media artist

Abstract forms emerge as I pick up the brush or the pen and begin my work, which comes from the depths of my interior, my heart, as well as external influences. Geometry shows up in the form of grids, lines, triangles, as well as spirals. I paint with water color, gouache, oil, wax, ink, and other mediums and materials that call to me in the moment. I work with a minimal palette and usually start with black and then apply layer after layer until i see that the work is complete. there is always a narrative that is playing along. there are times when writing it out and understanding is helpful. but mostly i allow it to come through the art without judgement.
