Featured artist at this year's faire presents acrylic and multimedia
Comox Valley EchoPublished: Friday, November 13, 2009

The featured artist this year at the Charles Dickens Christmas Craft Faire is local acrylic artist, April Lacheur. She is known for her bright, bold and unique acrylic paintings and best known for her whimsical trees that express for her the meaning of life and growth.
Lacheur is new to the Comox Valley within the past year and is enjoying all that the Valley has to offer. Having moved from Victoria, she is loving the inspiring surroundings and energetic art scene which our Valley has in abundance. She is influenced by her world travels and love for color.
As well as her bold acrylic paintings, Lacheur is "branching out" into multi-media using papers and fabrics and creating functional artwork, including her new hand-painted bags. As a self-taught artist, her style and technique is ever-evolving and she is enjoying developing her creative spirit. April's work is shown around Vancouver and Vancouver Island and is also available in her online store. You can find her work at Island Treasures at 1787 Comox Ave. in Comox. To view her work, visit www.yapespaints.com or contact her at yapespaints@hotmail.com . Fresh from the One of a Kind show in Vancouver, she is looking forward to sharing her latest work with shoppers at the Charles Dickens Christmas Craft Faire coming up this weekend.
