April is a visual artist living in Moncton, New Brunswick. Her work explores simplified shapes and fragmented forms, some of which are reminiscent of city landscapes and natural elements. April is self-taught and has studied the language of abstract art, while creating a visual vocabulary of her own. She is inspired by the work of Paul Klee, the architecture of cities and Midcentury Modern design.

When I'm not making art, I'm (a) ...
Reading mystery novels! I especially enjoy works from the golden age of mystery. My favorites are Agatha Christie and Josephine Tey.
When did you start making art, and why?
For years I had a “Hope Box” of paints and papers. Creating was something I kept just for myself. I never thought you could make a living from art. After I married my husband he encouraged me to take my art more seriously, and for the first time in my life I had space and time to make art. And that’s where I really began.
Why is it important for people to have art in their home or life?
Having art in a space is like having a window in a room, it allows for a different view.
