Born in southern New Mexico, and raised in Blowing Rock, NC, Kelly Logan Graham now lives in Bluffton, SC near the May River. Graham graduated from North Carolina State University School of Design in Raleigh, in 1981, where his studies included classic training in illustration, drawing and color & light theory. Graham paints mostly from is studio boat, specializing in landscapes and inland waterway paintings executed plein-air. His work is in many private collections in the southeast. ""From by boat, I celebrate my passion for waterways by painting the ever-changing light and tides of the rivers and marshes. In my exercise of defining points of view, I have always been intrigued by the horizon, and the subtle contrasts of shade and shape that define distance and scale. I try to create art with a sense of time and place. The idea, is to capture the moment, as vividly and as quickly as possible."
