“Between Two Worlds was created because I felt that in living abroad for so long, I needed to communicate in a complex, foreign world, and yet, in this diverse, “global community” I was searching—between language barriers, cultural differences and questions around what I could contribute to society by being here.

Through art, I reinvented myself to express what I needed the outside world to understand.  In this transformative process, I discovered fearlessness and, unexpectedly, a massive sense of connection.  My art became the medium in which I could communicate my energy and build bridges between the gaps which I thought had existed—(linking countries, communities, genders, lifestyles, cultures, languages, and even the space between heaven and earth). I aim to bring viewers together through my art so that they too find their purpose, their connection, and their understanding of themselves as an essential part of the universe.”—April Popko
