Artist, Teacher, Lifelong Student
As soon as she was old enough to safely hold a needle, April's grandmother taught her the skills of sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, lace making, and embroidery. These days, April finds herself exploring the modern and innovative avenues of mixed media and textile arts. Her love for connecting with the community has lead her to teaching, which allows her to share the knowledge she gains on her artistic journey.
