April is a Wiradjuri-Scottish illustrator, visual arts educator, and researcher based on the south coast of NSW – Yuin country. Working as an independent practitioner and audience specialist, she travels far and wide to work with young people in collaboration with art institutions and organisations. April experiments with new modes of visual storytelling and character design to deliver key messages in conjunction with school-based education systems. Central to her current process is the integration of virtual excursions as a way of connecting geographical locations. Virtual technologies are implemented as a mode of delivery, to ensure access for audiences living outside of city centres.
