April Allen is deeply rooted in her Inuit culture and heritage, hailing from Rigolet, Nunatsiavut. Her artistic journey is a beautiful testament to her upbringing, influenced by her mother's dedication to sewing, sparking April's interest in craftwork at a young age. Learning knitting and sewing from her mother laid the foundation for her passion for beadwork and sewing.

Her commitment to incorporating her Inuit culture, history, and traditional materials into her artwork reflects her strong connection to her roots. Participating in events like the Indigenous Fashion Arts Festival, Inuit Studies Conference, Adaka Cultural Festival & Arctic Arts Summit, Crafted Show and Sale, Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week, and the Labrador Winter Games’ closing ceremonies has provided April with platforms to showcase her exquisite work and share her knowledge through workshops.

April's dedication to preserving and sharing her Inuit heritage through her art while inspiring and educating others, particularly Indigenous youth, marks her as a commendable figure in the contemporary artistic landscape.
