My name is April Benson.  I have a BFA from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. I really enjoy the control, rich look and silky feel of oils.  Oils allow me to paint and still be a mommy.  I don’t have to worry about my paint drying if I need to pause to pick up my son from school or to eat a delicious play-dough meal my daughter has prepared just for me.  My faith strengthened from my husband’s influence inspired me to paint for God.  To honor Him with my work ethic and artwork I produce. 

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:17
