Logan Simich-Burr
My name is Logan Simich-Burr and I am 13 yrs old. I have been doing art since I was 5 years old and have been taking art classes since I turned 6 with Anna Evans from The Art Lab, Sussanah Murray from Red Door Art Studios/Estuary arts centre and Claire Benson from B-Creative in Mangawhai.
Before Christmas I created artworks on canvas hardboard for the Mangawhai members art exhibition and had the artworks made into Christmas card sets to purchase. I can also do calendars to purchase just pm me on my fb page for details.
At the beginning of the year, I worked on an Art Chair titled 'Ghostrider', which I donated to the Fire Up auction to raise money for the volunteer fire brigade in Mangawhai and their new premises - a very worthy cause - and my chair was bought for $75.
I have been busy with other artworks which have been published twice in Toitoi journal for young writers and artists in issues 10 and 11... and soon to be issue 12 which is out in July. These journals are in many primary/intermediate schools throughout NZ so I am really proud about this and hope I can inspire other kids to create.
I have finally finished a large mural which I am gifting to The Plastic Free Mangawhai Initiative. I had fun creating it. It has an important message - little changes can make the biggest difference! This mural will also be my entry for the annual Resene mural masterpiece competition in Nov this year. Many hours have gone into this including treating it with Graffiti-guard at the end.
I am currently creating artwork for and entering into 4+ competitions, and enjoying working with new mediums like Gesso which produces woodgrain-like effects to your art, plus painting my own designs onto a set of Babushka wooden nesting dolls.
One day I hope to exhibit my work in a gallery.
Art is Life!
