April Werle

From the shores of Morocco to islands of Malaysia and the mountains of Montana, Filipino-American muralist April Werle has been on an absolute wall-hunting tear since receiving her BFA from the University of Montana in 2017.

Werle’s bursting-of-color murals and works on panel offer short narratives inspired by her navigation through her cultural upbringing and travels to foreign places. Her recurring characters, recognized as hand gestures, existing and interacting within their constructed environments, represent themes of the classic coming-of-age tales, exploring who we are and how we navigate through society as we follow our own true identities.
