The artist is April Pyne, based in Moncton, NB. Photo 4/5 - 'The World Expands For Our Dreams" in situ and close up https://aprilpyne.partial.gallery/work/13538 For Gayle MacDonald story ON HOW TO BUY AFFORDABLE ART. April Pyne, 42, is a self-taught artist who lives in Moncton, NB, but grew up in New York, a city whose urban vibe heavily influences her abstracts. She loves digital work because these platforms “allow people’s own tastes to guide them. For new buyers it’s a great way to be exposed to art without feeling intimidated,” Pyne says. “For the more seasoned, it gives them a window to artists of colour like me, who finally feel like they have a seat at the table and a voice.” (Photo info: The World Expands For Our Dreams, 16 by 12, $160 for the original through partial.gallery)
