Aprille McShane is a self-taught artist and printmaker whose work explores themes of nature, time, and personal connection to place. Rooted in daily walks and close observation, her practice revolves around sketching, painting and printmaking to document the changing landscape and fleeting moments of the everyday.

Aprille McShane (b. 1975) is a UK-based artist living in Sheffield. Her practice explores themes of time, place, and connection to the natural world. Grounded in daily walks through her local environment, McShane observes and photographs fleeting moments that later inform her paintings, drawings, and prints. These works translate sensory experience into expressive gesture, layering observation, memory, and material to reflect the shifting rhythms of the natural world.

Alongside her studio practice, McShane works as a public artist with a strong interest in how art can serve and connect communities. Through collaborative and participatory projects, she creates opportunities for shared reflection and creative expression, encouraging others to engage with their surroundings in meaningful ways. Her work has been exhibited in galleries, realised in public art installations, and is held in private collections.
