April Hammock's work consists of oil and acrylic paintings focusing on form and spaces intertwining, breaking apart and building. The work is influenced by both metaphysics and a perceived ambiguity between exterior and interior spaces.

“What is undetermined versus something that is a readily identifiable object in space. Space, an integral component, a missing piece within a vast equation of time and continuity. The mystery of what appears in contrast to what it is in actuality. Frequencies, polarities, variables pulling together, colliding into a fantastic frenzy, finding order and rhythm to every pulse. Warmth, light and breadth of the living strive to strike some level of harmony with the slow dance of death; the finest hour, effervescently shifting through memories and moments in time.” - Hammock.

April Hammock has exhibited work in national and local galleries from New York to California, as well as throughout her home state of Louisiana. Hammock has taught art at Louisiana State University, University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Southeastern Louisiana University. Currently, she is an instructor for Talented Visual Arts in the East Baton Rouge Gifted and Talented Program at Baton Rouge Magnet High School.
