Ashton Van Dyke
My art reflects my love of nature, geometry, cartoons, and punk aesthetics. I love to explore the wax and wane between light and shadow, growth and decay, and natural and man-made.
I primarily explore these themes with cyanotypes, a method of photography that uses a UV-sensitive chemical solution. This allows me to unify my experiences with drawing, painting, and digital photography.

I combine natural found objects, hand-painted stencils, and photo negatives to develop all original pieces. Each print is a little view into my world that I am honored to share.
Caravan Art Bazaar’s ART 4 AID program uses art for good by donating a percent of sales from artwork by participating artists to various grassroots mutual aid programs near and far.
To date, CAB has helped raise over $14,000 in funds for Hurricane Helene disaster relief in North Carolina, rainforest conservation in Peru and Sumatra, community land stewardship near Cherokee, affordable housing in Swannanoa NC, community art experiences in Asheville, cultural preservation in Vietnam, and more!
