Infected by Art Book - Volume 9

April Borchelt is a fantasy illustrator that works in both the animation and gaming industries while keeping true to her fine art roots. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and graduated as a Summa Cum Laude, from Kennesaw State University School of Art & Design. Her personal work has grown to be filled with symbolic whimsy that breathe notes of her faith and her love for nature. April's success and pursuit for the arts has been fulfilled by the opportunity to work on multiple genres and projects. These include: painting backgrounds for Spongebob Squarepants with Nickelodeon, being a key digital painter for the games Paladins and SMITE at Hi-Rez Studios, illustrating for multiple published board games like “Bark Avenue” and Starling Game’s “Flourish”, illustrating book covers, and having her personal fine art exhibited in galleries around the Atlanta area and included in distinguished publications such as IX Vol. 9 & 10. With her wide range of experience, April has been able to mentor and teach the younger generation to obtain their own goals in the arts.
