About April
April is a Michigan girl at heart, though she’s called Southern California home for many years. Now living near the beach with her kids, she finds balance and inspiration in both her family and art. Her work spans energetic live guest illustrations to realistic portraits and commissioned oil paintings. April’s artistic journey began in early childhood. She began college as a Studio Art major but ultimately graduated with a degree in Sociology. April spent over 15 years working in the wellness industry as a holistic nutritionist and Pilates/fitness instructor. It wasn’t until the lockdown in 2020 that she rediscovered her love of creating art. These days, her heart and soul are rooted in her home studio, where she paints daily, inspired by the world around her.
