Nev Logan
Nev Logan is an Australian Artist who was born in Brisbane, but grew up in Gatton in the Lockyer Valley.
He received an early training in Perspective drawing while at High School, and during the electrical engineering course which he completed at the University of QLD with first class honors and a University Medal in 1956. After a career as an Electrical Engineer, Nev took early retirement in 1987 and began to concentrate on his painting which he had taken up a
few years before his retirement.
After trying all media, he was converted to Watercolor after attending a workshop in England with watercolorist Ron Ransafteron. He has been painting in watercolors ever since. Nev has had no formal art education, but has studied under many well known Australian watercolorists,
particularly David Taylor and Alvaro Castagnet.
Although Nev paints most subjects, he concentrates mainly on buildings and boats. Street scenes,Townscapes and Harbor scenes are among his favorite subjects and his early training in Perspective Drawing is a great help with these subjects. Nev and his wife Barbara love to travel and this is reflected in many of his paintings which feature overseas subjects.
Nev is Vice President and a Life Member of the Watercolor Society of Queensland, and is a past President and Treasurer of this society. He is also President of the Queensland Art Collective, and is a member of the Bryan memorial gallery in Jeffersonville in the USA. His work is also exhibited year round at Visions of Vermont Gallery in Jeffersonville, Vt. His work may be seen in Brisbane at the Red Hill Gallery and in regular exhibitions with the Queensland Art Collective and the Watercolor Society; in Victoria at the Convent Gallery in Daylesford; as well as three galleries in Jeffersonville Vermont USA.
