“In cities we build and rebuild and we do not ask why.”
— Janice Galloway

​

Glasgow is a city in constant motion—building, unbuilding, shifting its weight through rain and light. Janice Galloway’s words speak to this restlessness, the layered history of a place shaped by industry, reinvention, and everyday resilience. It is a city that holds contradiction: the clang of steel beside birdsong, brutalist concrete softened by climbing plants, pace and pause existing side by side.

This is the backdrop—and the collaborator—for April’s work. Her paintings are in conversation with the textures of Glasgow: the post-industrial spaces, the city centre’s pulse, the quieter corners where life unfolds. They are also rooted in the intimate daily rituals that define a creative life here, one breath at a time.
