Talking to April Hickox

Although April Hickox may not be an environmentalist, in the traditional definition of the word, she is very much of her environment. April is completely engaged with the place where she lives, the people that are part of her community and what is happening around her. She is an observer; a thinker; storyteller and her photographs bring you into her world. I feel like every moment inspires her by what she is seeing and experiencing around her – and she stays engaged constantly creating, interacting with others in the community, observing and thinking. It was such a pleasure to talk to April about living on Toronto Island, her involvement in the Toronto artistic community and how she stays engaged.
