April (b. 1998) is a Glasgow-based artist and producer working with colour, space and environments. Using paint as her primary medium, she explores questions surrounding both natural and built environments of Scotland. Her practice spans large-scale oil paintings on canvas, installation art, sculpture and drawing. April holds both a BA(Hons) & a Master's of Letter's in Fine Art Practice from The Glasgow School of Art (2019-2024). 

April is a painter living and working between rural Scotland and Glasgow. Her expansive, abstract canvases are saturated with luminous colour and movement, unfolding as meditations on landscape, rhythm, and material presence.Working through intuition and process, April translates lived experience into paint, allowing gesture and texture to evolve through repetition, revision, and chance. Each surface becomes a record of thought and touch, an exploration of how the physical act of painting can hold memory, energy, and emotion.
Her use of oil paint, layered, scraped, and rearticulated over time, creates a dense and shifting materiality that recalls the vitality of Abstract Expressionism while remaining deeply personal and grounded in the everyday. Domestic and sensory encounters, from the texture of fabric to the cadence of a conversation, become embedded within the work’s surface, merging the intimacy of life with the expansiveness of landscape. Paintings emerge over long periods, moving through cycles of collapse and reconstruction, freedom and control. Each canvas feels alive, breathing through its layers of colour and gesture, a living document of process and transformation.
