April Martin is a Joan Giordano Legacy Residency Grant alumna. She holds her BA from McGill University, BFA from Concordia University, and MFA in Fine Art Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

April’s work is driven by touch, sensation, accumulation, the color blue, uncommon materials, and Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves. While at Women’s Studio Workshop, she began in the ceramics studio making large, bisqueware vessels to fill with Miracle-Gro and indigo, then moved explore materials on the etching press.
