Artist Bio

A self-taught artist, Logan grew up in St. Cloud Minnesota. A US Army veteran, Logan was deployed to Iraq during operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn in 2010. In Iraq, he served as a route clearance Truck Commander responsible for finding and destroying improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

After the military, Logan pursued a career in the high-pressure worlds of political campaigns and contract negotiations. At 40, burned out from fighting (both literally and figuratively) his entire adult life, Logan left that world to pursue art. "I want my life to be about more than domination and destruction", he said, "In the second act of my life I want to leave something behind that creates meaning and wonder".

Logan currently lives in Minnesota with his wife and two bulldogs. He paints both abstract art and servicemember POV real scenes from the war.
