BIOGRAPHY
PRESS RELEASE

Van Dyke's interests lie in structure, texture, form, and color. She seeks contradictory spaces and multiple perspectives. For instance, she has painted a number of works using metallic paint resulting in the surface shifting and changing according to the viewer's perspective. Her juxtapositions create situations and forms that are unstable, ephemeral. In her painting she looks for a kind of disorientation, followed by a reorientation into a place that we have never seen but that is familiar to us.
