April is a visual artist living in Moncton, New Brunswick. Her work explores minimalist objects, simplified shapes and fragmented forms that are reminiscent of interiors, exteriors and sky. April is self-taught and has studied the language of abstract art, while creating a visual vocabulary of her own. She is influenced by the work of Paul Klee, The Russian Constructivists and Midcentury Modern design.

Why is art important to you?
I love words, but I believe that visual language speaks to a different place in the human heart.
When I'm not making art, I'm (a) ...
Walking and observing the world around me. I like walking the same paths and noting different things each time. I see the way a shadow falls on a building or the way a tree is responding to the season.
