Main
Tiffany April is a visual artist using painting, assemblage, and digital-based installations to capture the transitory and mutually affective relationship between human and more-than-human beings, both digital and (im)material. Informed by research into the interrelations between human and non-human biology, morphology, evolution and ecology, April considers the human body as a continuum between the ecological and digital to question categorizations of “Otherness”; an exploration rooted in her embodied experience as a queer and neurodiverse individual. April uses sensuality and simplicity of forms woven in space to decenter identifiers of the human and place the sensing body on the same plane as the technological and the organic. Tiffany April completed her MFA at the University of Ottawa, and her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts at Concordia University. She took part in The Artist Project (2025), was awarded participation in the Artist Project: Untapped Emerging Artist section (2022), and participated in Toronto Outdoor Art Fair (2021). April is the recipient of multiple grants including: the City of Ottawa's Creation and Production Grant (2021, 2025), Canada Council for the Arts' Creation and Production grant (2022), and the Ontario Arts Council's Exhibition Assistance Grant (2020, 2025). In 2020, April was shortlisted for the RBC Emerging Artist Award and invited to create a public installation for the City of Ottawa’s Microcosm Project. Her MFA thesis exhibition, The Surgeon and the Magician, was presented at the Ottawa Art Gallery. Her work is in national and international private and public collections including Invest in Canada (2021) and the City of Ottawa’s art collection (2018, 2021, 2024). April has exhibited in Montréal, Toronto, and Ottawa, as well as internationally (New York, London, Berlin and South Korea).
