Who Am I?

Hello! I’m April Dawn B.

Dear Reader, I am sincerely so glad you made it here! I do not interface with technology in a cooperative way 90% of the time. Honestly, the fact that I have successfully created and launched my own website at all is a miracle of patience on my part, and I can spend dozens of hours counting threads or untangling knots. The laptop at my fingertips will still likely become a part of my artwork someday when we have a disagreement on one highway or another. Anyway, you’d probably rather know more about me and this site from here on. I will oblige.

My art and writing are often compulsive. I have been creating since I was able and haven’t stopped. Much of the outcome is dependant on resources I have and what reciently impacted my emotions in a personal or global way, to include dreams and nightmares. Mental Illness has become a part of me I adapted to living with and even embrace. So usually I create works of comfort, contemplation, and catharsis. I also deeply enjoy aliteration and textures as you will see. I’m a person who absantmindedly reaches at sensory intrigue until a security guard blows their whistle. Why deny people like me, and children, the same drive. My work doesn’t need to outlive me but that doesn’t mean it’s not precious. So I make art that will be touched, used and worn by our lives, much like the earth, and we are, by each other.

Follow my journey.
