My art is for those who feel the pulse of the world—the ones with a song in their soul and a spirit that moves them.

I am April Quast, a fine artist based in Glastonbury, Connecticut, creating bold, energetic works that capture the rhythm of life. My paintings aren’t just images on a canvas—they are an experience, a conversation, a dance between movement and expression.

In my late teens and early twenties, I was obsessed with West Coast Swing—a social dance where two people, who may have never met, can move together in perfect sync to a song they’ve never heard. In every step, energy is exchanged. Connection is made. A wordless conversation unfolds.

That experience shaped everything I do as an artist. Just as dancers respond to rhythm, I respond to energy. The world around me is like music to my eyes—every detail, every unspoken moment carries a vibration, and my brushstrokes become my reply.

This art is an invitation to feel, to connect, to step beyond the surface. I don’t create to decorate walls; I create to ignite something within you—confidence, curiosity, and the recognition of your own vibrant presence in the world.

Art, like dance, is about being fully in the moment. It’s about trusting the rhythm, letting go of doubt, and embracing the beauty of pure, unfiltered expression.
