April Davis (Photographer)

I come from a family of artists and scientists, which I suppose is a 
somewhat odd combination, but I think it's a good one. I feel like 
it's given me a unique perspective on the things around me. I've 
learned to see what is there and to turn it into something else by 
changing the order of things, or the way it is seen. With my 
photography I try to capture the mystery and mood of a place that has 
been abandoned. To show the things that are left behind to rot and 
share the perplexity of their story. I try to find the beauty amongst 
the decay, searching for the ways life continues on even though it 
appears to be rotting away.

I've always done some sort of art my entire life. I've never really 
stuck to one thing because I enjoy trying different techniques and 
mediums. In addition to my photography I enjoy working with mixed 
media pieces, painting and found metal sculptures. I spend most of my 
free time traipsing about abandoned buildings, playing with power 
tools, hiking with my awesome dogs and reading. Usually not all at the 
same time, but I like to multitask where I can.
