About Kerry and Her Art School

Kerry has been teaching art to children and adults since 1986! Her art studio is located near McKinley Park in East Sacramento where she teaches an after-school art program, plus morning and evening adults and older teens classes. During the summers, she teaches impressionistic oil painting and watercolors on location, sketching and watercolor programs at the Sacramento Zoo and various studio classes. Her classes usually fill quickly, so call early to reserve spaces.

Check out Kerry's Elk on Parade project done over the summer of 2002.

Over the years, Kerry's Art classes have been featured on several local news broadcasts and in the Sacramento Bee. An article in "Inside East Sacramento" said, "It is a classic summer rite of passage for East Sac youngsters: taking Kerry Van Dyke's oil-painting class in the Rose Garden at McKinley Park." June 2001 issue, pg. 15, "Teaching Kids to Paint".
