About Aprill

Who I work with

I'm a Melbourne artist. I paint, make things, and turn ordinary objects into emotional ambushes.

I also work with businesses, organisations and collectors who have an idea, project or creative opportunity and need help bringing it to life. Maybe you know exactly what you want. Maybe it's early days, and together we turn it into something clear, cohesive and ready to move forward.

I get excited at the idea stage, which is why I like helping people realise their vision as much as I like realising my own.

What I bring

A woman stands in an art studio wearing pink and black leopard print shirt, blue jeans, and red rubber boots. She has short, wavy brown hair and is covering her face with one hand. The studio has artwork, supplies, and a white brick wall.

I started in retail signage and screen printing, with a stint in public radio on the side. I learned early how to grab attention and tell a story.

Then came twenty years in corporate technology, management consulting, and startups, including co-founding a fintech where I built governance infrastructure, managed investor relationships, and held operational pieces together while we matured.

Now, I'm back in the studio. Painting, making things, completing my Diploma of Visual Arts, and doing the kind of work where what you make by the end of the day is something you can see, touch, and feel.

Where to next
