April Kline

April Kline

April Kline first became interested in art before kindergarten when her mother would let her paste fine arts stickers in her collection of “Metropolitan Miniatures”. Inspired, she went on to study art history and painting in college.

She taught elementary school in the U.S., Laos, Bolivia, England and Sri Lanka. Life then led her to work for UNICEF in refugee camps on the borders of Afghanistan and Cambodia. After 11 years she returned to the U.S. She became interested in Indian and Middle Eastern miniatures and began painting very small detailed images on sheaths she made for her Tai Chi sword. She branched out to larger canvases and images but size hasn’t mattered. Her paintings remain – amusing, imaginative, ambiguous, and narrative in nature. Her colors are bright, rich and deep. Her early work was featured on Oregon Art Beat in 2007.
