A freelance and commissioned artist skilled in various painting techniques such as Old Masters, alla prima and contemporary abstract art. April Marie does not know how she got her artistic ability as she was not shaped in the art world growing up. She received a Bachelor’s degree in Business from Kansas State University and then a few years later a Master’s degree in Business from the University of Phoenix in San Diego, CA.

It was not until 2010 that she took a couple painting classes to feed her creative side while working at a private investment firm. Immediately after sharing her artwork with friends and family she began being asked to paint commissions. Serendipitous moments then led her into taking an Old Masters class in Little Italy, San Diego by the master instructor, Jeffery Pollack. This is where she discovered her natural talent and developed deep friendships where she became a part of that art studio. April Marie created her own unique style selling many pieces of her original artwork as well as obtaining more commissions. An ingrained passion that will stay with her until the end of days.
