People of the Plains Artist

April Mercredi

April Mercredi was born in Calgary, AB. Her ancestral background is Métis and Chinese. As a child her parents moved from Calgary to Rocky Mountain House, AB. Moving west provided extreme diverse experiences which ranged from living in poverty in an urban area to survival in the bush. The contrast of her humble upbringing combined with surviving devastating experiences are etched forever into April’s memory and are a tremendous influence on her life and in her art.  Website: www.aprilmercredi.com
