April is a painter living and working between rural Scotland and Glasgow. Her expansive canvases are saturated with colour and energy, emerging from an intuitive and process-led approach. Painting begins not with a plan but with a feeling, translating the textures of daily life into luminous, layered surfaces.

Her work draws on the rhythms of movement, sound, clothing, and ritual. Everyday objects and gestures — a coffee cup repurposed for mixing colour, a conversation on the train, the choice of what to wear — all become catalysts for painting. Fashion is not separate from the studio but an extension of it, with palette and texture often mirrored across body and canvas.

April’s practice is grounded in improvisation and material thinking. She composes with colour as others might with sound, building dynamic relationships between spontaneity and structure, intensity and restraint. The result is a body of work that is tactile, joyful, and deeply connected to lived experience, offering viewers a space that is at once immediate and expansive.
