Joanna Logue is an Australian-born painter, born in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts (1986) and a Graduate Diploma in Painting (1987) from the City Art Institute in Sydney. Raised in a rural environment, Logue developed an early connection to the landscape that would become central to her artistic practice. After establishing her career in Australia, she relocated to Mount Desert Island, Maine in 2017 where she continues to live and work. She draws inspiration from the dramatic changing of seasons seen in the landscape around her. The dramatic seasonal shifts and coastal terrain of the northeastern United States now serve as a new source of inspiration, offering a striking contrast to the light and climate of her native Australia.
Logue has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions across Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Hong Kong. She has been the recipient of several awards, including the Country Energy Prize for Landscape Painting (2006) and the Central West Regional Artist Award (2009), and has been a finalist in significant national prizes such as the Fleurieu Art Prize, the Paddington Landscape Painting Prize, and the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize. Logue has undertaken residencies at Hill End, Bull Bay, and through Bathurst Regional Art Gallery. Her work is held in a range of public and private collections, including Bathurst and Cowra Regional Art Galleries, Cornell University, and numerous corporate collections throughout Australia and North America.
