Connie Logan paints landscapes, figure studies, portraits, still lifes, and plein aire studies with the heart of an impressionist. Her colors are rich and intense and her compositions are carefully designed with texture, accomplished brushwork, and dramatic light and contrast. Although she enjoys much diversity of style and application, the common theme is deeply intimate and spiritual and reveals peace, joy, and hope.
Born in 1952 in Fairfax County, Virginia, she developed her style by frequenting the major Washington museums and especially admiring the work of the Impressionists and Post Impressionists. After receiving a B.A. in Art and Art Education from Virginia Tech she continued her studies at F.I.T. in NYC, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She has taken workshops and studied with some of the most currently successful artists in the country and abroad.
She has taught art and art appreciation in public and private institutions to every age student from children to adults. Logan spent two years traveling, studying, painting, teaching and exhibiting in Budapest, Hungary from 1991-1993. She continues to lead painting excursions all over the world including England, Ireland, Italy, France, and Hawaii.
Logan’s European exhibitions included international group exhibitions and a one woman show at Budapest’s National Opera House. Her work has been collected by many multinational corporations and seen in private collections of businessmen and diplomats from all over the world. She has been featured twice in Artist’s Magazine and has won awards for her work on local, regional, and national levels. She was the original founder of the Artstock Annual Open Studio Tour in Greensboro where she continues to show her work and her studio to the public every October.
Connie teaches, lectures, and juries shows and has exhibited her own work in over 40 galleries, restaurants, and museums regionally. She was the art teacher at Ridgefield Academy for six years but currently teaches in her expansive studio built in 1998, as well as giving workshops and demonstrations across the country. She has contributed to the community by producing hundreds of painters and encouraging them to also show and sell their work. She can also be seen on Art Academy Live where she teaches painting via the internet.
