As a working artist, Los Angeles-based April Bey uses mixed media to invent worlds of imagination that challenge viewers to examine their own preconceptions about humanity, race and the hiding-in-plain-sight remnants of global colonialism, white supremacy in particular. She is also a tenured professor at Glendale Community College, where she encourages her art students to share their life experiences through their creations while reminding them to seek knowledge independent of the classroom or studio, lessons that she had to teach herself during her own art education at Ball State University and California State University, Northridge.
