So Much Art to Make
This is how I’ve always felt!
“So much art to make in such little time! -April Marie Mai”
I could fill many lifetimes with artmaking. In the meantime, I have to pick and choose between ideas, because I only have one life. ;)
Color Therapy – Lift Detail
“Lift” abstract impasto painting detail with teal, blue, pink, yellow, red, and white in an impasto palette knife style, with little rainbows of different colors in each palette knife stroke. Colorful and vibrant!
Color Therapy
“Garden” Painting Detail with bright cherry pink, turquoise, spring green, white, purple, and other colors in impasto palette knife swipes
Happy Coming Out Day!
Lots of love to my fellow queer people!
I check a lot of the boxes! Ha! I’m nonbinary (genderfae), omnisexual, omniromantic, and greysexual. I’ve been out for a looong time. :)
Happy Coming Out Day! Remember: Don’t out anyone, but feel free to share who you are! – April Marie Mai

White Rose on Rose Gold Painting

Summer Memories of Painting
Each painting I create is an adventure.
Three detail snapshots of paintings from my Color Explosion series created this summer, with the words, “Summer memories” written on the polaroid stub of the photos, with orange spray roses in the bottom right corner and green leaves in the top right corner.
Jones Gallery Show with Jeff Tamblyn
Tomorrow the show my collaborative work with Jeff Tamblyn is in at the Jones Gallery in KCMO will be coming down. I hope you’ve had a chance to swing by it!
