Kate Van Dyke

Fine art paintings inspired by the natural world

Combining scientific observation with a contemporary lens, Kate Van Dyke (formerly Kate Halpin) captures the vivid essence of the natural world.  Rooted in flora and fauna realism with an emphasis on California natives species, her work infuses vibrant colors into larger-than-life subjects, offering a modern and slightly fantastical interpretation. With meticulous attention to detail, she invites the viewer into an intimate encounter with nature.

Her work can be seen at Erickson Fine Art Gallery in Healdsburg, California. For inquiries, contact info@ericksonfineartgallery.com.
