Spring Preview Event is April 27th
Art isn’t just something to admire—it’s something to experience.
Vibrant Art to
Energize your Space
Art is something to feel, something to ignite, something to inspire. This work is an invitation to wake up your spirit, unlock your imagination, and step fully into the life that’s calling you.
I create bold, colorful art for those who refuse to stay small. This art is for visionaries, passionates, and bold souls who crave movement, meaning, and energy in their lives.
Each piece is a fearless expression of motion and emotion—color, rhythm, and flow that awakens spaces and stirs the soul.
“The world around me is like music to my eyes, and when music inspires my soul, I dance.”
April's Collections
Make your space a living reflection of everything YOU ARE and everything you’re BECOMING.
Color has energy. Dance like nobody's watching and buy art that doesn't match the couch. The art you choose for your home will bring energy and expression to your space, choose your art confidently! Surround yourself with reminders of your own power, clarity, and courage.
The Flow Collection
The Dancers
Dance is a conversation between the body and the soul—a rhythm, a feeling, a release. The Flow Collection reveals the dancer's figures and captures their effortless expression. These forms celebrate growth, passion, and transformation, inviting you to trust your own flow, embrace your emotions, and move through life with fearless confidence.
The Wild Collection
The Animals
Animals move with an energy that is pure, unfiltered, and unapologetic. They embody strength, presence, and the deep wisdom of the wild. This collection is a reflection of that spirit—a dance between freedom and form, between power and grace. Let these pieces awaken something instinctive within you, something that’s always been there: your own unbreakable essence.
The Essence Collection
The Abstracts
Essence is not about labels or definitions—it’s about feeling. It’s the energy that lingers in a moment, the mood that shifts a space, the silent conversation between color and movement.
These abstract pieces are an invitation to step beyond words and into experience, allowing the artwork to stir, awaken, and resonate in its own way.
The Rhythm, Energy & Passion Behind My Paintings
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.

The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
