"Working with April was a real joy!”
"The Bay View Association hired April Mann to coordinate the artistic component of our community-wide woods walk in 2023. One key aspect of her work was to guide children in building fairy houses for display along the woods trail. April was extremely professional, responsive, and adaptable. Her creative vision was truly inspired. Working with April was a real joy!”
