Kate Tova is a visual artist living and working along the California coast. Her practice spans painting and site-responsive work rooted in a deep engagement with the natural world.

Beginning each piece with a walk through her garden or surrounding coastal landscapes, she gathers living flowers, roots, and leaves to replace traditional brushes. She often incorporates the dry pressed flora into her work that inspires the lush and vibrant palette. Through this daily ritual, she explores themes of identity, environment, and emotional well-being. Treating nature as a direct collaborator in the studio, and using organic mark-making tools, Kate Tova brings nature into the home.
