Encaustic paint/mixed media artwork by Melissa Hronkin. (Photo courtesy Finlandia University)"A fascination with bees led me to experiment and explore the art of encaustic painting," she says. "I have always been fascinated with alchemy and thinking of the artist as an alchemist. Honeybees also do this; they spin gold."
Hronkin and her husband, John, operate Algomah Acres Honey Farm and Honey House -- a honey processing facility, art studio, and community art space in Greenland, Mich.
The Reflection Gallery is located on the second level of Finlandia’s Jutila Center campus, 200 Michigan St., Hancock.
