From the Czech President’s hands, to NY Times Square, and Vogue Magazine, the Popko name has been in galleries, media, film, books, and public spaces across the planet. Her work transcends borders, connecting people and places by inspiring audiences worldwide. Spotlighted in numerous prestigious publications such as Tatler Magazine, Conde Nast, and The World of Interiors, among many, Popko is also a teacher and an author.
Honored to speak at the Czech President's Inauguration Anniversary, Popko presented her artwork to the President and First Lady of the Czech Republic. Popko also exhibited in the U.S. Embassy in Prague, presenting her work to His Excellency, the U.S. Ambassador, and was later invited to display her art in the U.S. Ambassador’s Residence– a first for any artist historically at the Petschek Villa. Among many iconic spaces around the world, Popko presented her work at Antoni Gaudi’s La Padrera Casa Mila in Barcelona as well as during Art Basel in Switzerland– considered the world’s largest, most prestigious art fair for contemporary and modern art. Additionally, April has participated in shows in Milan, Paris, London, Palma, Venice, Berlin, Grenada, Zug, Dubai, Seoul, Oslo, Miami, New York, Massachusetts and extensively in Prague.
From a large multigenerational family of artists, April continues the tradition of creating public installation art. Among her most notable works are the Popko Wings housed in the Žižkov Tower observatory for which she was honored by the U.S. Embassy diplomats as the first American artist to have a permanent art installation at one of the World Federation of Towers. Popko was also recognized locally as the first American to receive the 2nd highest Medal of Honor from her Mayor for her contributions to her community, and more specifically, for creating the colorful Popko Rainbow Stairs. In addition to her abstract paintings, Popko breaks boundaries by exploring new creative art forms and techniques, expanding to the territories of monoprints, bitcoin art, writing, and multi-media installations.
