April Gornik's charcoal drawings of mountains,
prairies, and waterways are populated by trees and
boulders, bushes and brush. In her works, the sun
is shining or rain is pouring from dark clouds or the
moon is casting its rays on the bay beneath. The
places she depicts seem far away, physically as
well as metaphorically. Whether she has visited
these wondrous settings by airplane and Land
Rover or only seen them in her mind's eye doesn't
matter in the end. With color and canvas, she has
transformed remote sites into haunting images.
