April Foley

April Foley is an artist with a deep passion for creating abstract art that reflects her emotions and inner world. Each piece she creates is a personal exploration, shaped by the feelings she experiences in the moment. For April, painting serves as a form of therapy—every work tells its own story or reveals something from within.

She primarily works with mixed media, incorporating materials such as acrylic pens, hot glue, collage, and vibrant colors to build texture, depth, and energy into her pieces. April draws inspiration from techniques she’s learned from others and is continually seeking new sources of creativity. Her process is intuitive and constantly evolving, driven by curiosity and emotional expression.

For April, art is both a practice and a journey—one that brings joy, introspection, and a sense of connection. She hopes that those who engage with her work discover something new each time they view it. Whether it’s a feeling, a memory, or a spark of imagination, April aims to create art that opens a space for connection, reflection, and experience.
