First Friday | NextSpace with the Art of Logan Parsons

October 4 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Logan was born and raised in Pacific Grove, California. She received her bachelor's degree in environmental science from Western Washington University and the following year obtained her graduate certificate in science illustration from the University of California Extension, Santa Cruz. Upon graduation she completed internships at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, PA and at Scientific American magazine in New York City. Since that formative time in her illustration career, Logan has gone on to hone her skills as an educator as well, working as a Interpretive Park Ranger in Yosemite, and a high school art teacher at York School in Monterey, Ca.

Nature has always been the primary influence in Logan's art; capturing the character of its many odd, funny, and beautiful organisms. She also holds a deep appreciation for designs and compositions (especially within the sciences) that successfully convey information while at the same time having an aesthetic appeal.

Logan now lives and works as a freelancer in Santa Cruz, California with her husband and two year old son. She is a passionate gardener, houseplant enthusiast, and podcast listener.

Logan is a member at NextSpace where here art will be showcased October 4th from 5:30-8PM.
