April Hopkins is a figurative artist from North Texas. She has devoted herself to excellence in draftsmanship and painting.

—

April’s artwork focuses on the human form, connecting to her audience through a mindful exploration of the figure. To render the nude through art is to consider our vulnerability, our innocence, and our mortality—the things that unite us. April’s subjects are often calm and reflective, to reveal an inner strength and unexpected beauty. 

A transplant from rural Wisconsin, she now lives in Arlington, Texas with her husband, two daughters and one wildly spirited terrier.
