April VanDeGrift: Art That Explores Climate, Nature & Coexistence
At Boise Group Real Estate, we love celebrating the artists who bring powerful storytelling and thought-provoking themes to our local arts scene. This month, we’re featuring April VanDeGrift, a Boise-based artist, illustrator, and arts professor whose work explores the delicate balance between humans, animals, and climate change.
April’s art serves as a visual narrative of environmental impact, highlighting the ways empowered action and coordinated efforts can help protect the species depicted in her work. Her detailed, expressive pieces invite viewers to reflect on our shared responsibility for conservation and coexistence.
Currently, April’s work is displayed at several prominent Boise-area institutions, including:
- College of Idaho
- College of Western Idaho
- Boise City Department of Arts and History
- Visual Arts Collective
- Picture This Gallery and Frame Shop
Her dedication to both creating and teaching art makes her an integral part of Boise’s creative community.
At Boise Group Real Estate, we believe in supporting the people and ideas that shape our city. Whether you’re looking for a home near Boise’s vibrant arts districts, a space to showcase your own collection, or a home that reflects your passion for nature and sustainability, we’re here to help.
