Steckline Gallery will present “What Remains, What Renews” by artist Makenzie Raymundo during a First Friday exhibition from 5-7 p.m., Oct. 3, at Newman University.

Raymundo, a mixed media artist and educator, describes her exhibition as “an intuitive and responsive approach to construction.” Using found objects, her work combines digital and traditional processes and materials that celebrate reflection, repetition and reinterpretation.

“At the core of the work is an ongoing attention to surface as a space of meditative labor,” she explained. “Each gesture builds upon the last, forming textured fields that hold evidence of endurance, presence and transformation.”

Based in Omaha, Nebraska, Raymundo earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in art education with a specialization in ceramics from the University of South Dakota in 2020, followed by her Master of Fine Arts in ceramics from Kansas State University in 2023. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
“What Remains, What Renews” will be on display Oct. 2-30. An Art for Lunch, which includes a discussion with the artist and pizza lunch for Newman students, is Oct. 2 from noon to 1 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.

The Steckline Gallery is located inside the De Mattias Fine Arts Center on the Newman campus, 3100 McCormick. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by appointment. For more information, email Director of Steckline Gallery Emily Ritter at rittere@newmanu.edu.
