      <image:caption>Figurative acrylic painting by April Werle, narrative painter based in Missoula, Montana. Two gray-toned hands peer out from within a car's sideview mirror against a deep blue nocturnal suburban landscape. A lit house window in the background reflects shadowy figures and a TV screen showing a hand on a flying broom. Warm brown wood-grain pools across the lower foreground beneath a full moon. Work exploring mixed-race identity, belonging, and 90s and 2000s nostalgia through intimate domestic scenes.</image:caption>
