Born in Massachusetts, April Popko has presented her work in solo exhibitions for the United States, Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, and beyond. Popko is a featured artist in local and international publications and magazines. She has exhibited for group shows as an active member of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, home to the country's oldest art community. She also uses her art to support charities and organizations, to promote communication and connectedness.
Currently based in Czech Republic since 2003, April paints from her Prague 5 studio, using the energy she gains from from her time in Cape Cod. She is inspired by nature and communicates her experiences of living between two worlds. Her vibrant, texturized abstractions are often inspired by her travels abroad. Soaking up the fresh, salty air of the Atlantic ocean, seeing the crisp light reflected off the sand dunes and hearing the soft sea grass swaying in the wind, can be felt and experienced in her paintings. |
