April Quast resides in Glastonbury, CT. Her art is for everyone that has a song in their soul and a spirit that moves them. April Quast dances on canvas. Just like a dancer reacts to the music and their partner to let their body dance, April's art reacts to the world around her, choreographing colors and textures to create energetic compositions on canvas. A dancer invites us to see energy as they react with their bodies to translate moods into movements.

April’s art is not just a "decoration" to match the couch and hang on walls; it is a performance. It’s a translation of energy into a composition. April curiously draws upon the inspirations from the world’s small and beautiful details and uses them to spontaneously choreograph colors and energy that dance on the canvas. Just like dance is a series of improvised movements that react to the energy in a song. April’s art is a collaboration of colors and flowing lines that react to the world around us. This art is designed to be an extension of you and your vibe. It is designed to energize your spaces, and radiate inspiring vibes for everyone that enters the room. April’s colorful abstractions are full of fluidity and movement to inspire people to follow their passions and let their souls dance.

As you experience the artwork try to bring yourself beyond finding the legs, arms, and heads of the figures. Instead, contemplate the influence of the energy involved in shaping the figures. Where does the figures end and the energy begin? What connections and energies are choreographing the movements you see before you? I invite you to choose bold colors for your home that will match the colors in your dancing soul. Trust your spirit and allow yourself to dance.
