Dennis Logsdon has been a scratchboard artist for more than 50 years. Although he is primarily a wildlife artist, he also enjoys doing character studies. Considered a master of the scratchboard medium, Logsdon is one of only a few artists working in scratchboard and clayboard for the international wildlife market. "I love the textures, details and feel of the engraving process," he explains. "It fits my needs in sharing the love of animals and nature I grew up with. It is a constant challenge to expand the range of the medium and still maintain the discipline." |
| Logsdon's work has been displayed at many venues including the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in South Carolina, the Easton Waterfowl festival in Easton, Maryland, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science Wildlife Art Show, Nature Works in Tulsa,, Oklahoma, the Florida Wildlife Expo in Orlando, and the Wildlife and Western Heritage Show in Houston, Texas. Among the many awards his work has won are Best of Show for Scratchboard at the National Wildlife Show in Kansas City, Missouri and Best of Show for Original Artwork at the Wildlife Art Show in New Bern, North Carolina. Logsdon won the purchase award at Art of the Animal Kingdom at the Bennington Center for the Arts in Vermont in 1999. His piece was part of the US touring exhibit for the Center in 2000. |
