Artist Statement
“I often find myself caught between the expectations imposed on me by my femininity and my desires to be deeply and unapologetically seen. I think my art mimics that. You can see my desires to flow, to change shape, to adhere and appease in my watercolor and oil paintings; the soft colors blending into one another by gentle touch. My ideal Self is reflected.
In contrast my acrylic and collage based works seem to reject the very idea of being contained as something palatable. They seem to scream a shadowed variety of powerfully embodied emotions, exclaiming “Look at me! Feel me! I am angry! I am powerful! I am playful!” I often find myself smirking at the visuals I allow myself to pour into and onto the canvas.
It is in my fluid mediums that I live, and in my mixed media that I heal.”

Artist Bio
Logan Anne Brantley Cabral, a North Carolina native and San Diego resident artist, is best known for her whimsicality and portrait work. She approaches the canvas or paper with a story to tell, oftentimes allowing it to evolve as it is born onto the page, spilling into various mediums (i.e., oil, watercolor, ink, soft pastel, collage, etc.) that serve the image’s lifeform. Motifs of nature and femininity are intricately woven throughout her quilted portfolio, creating a visual language that feels both intimate and archetypal. Cabral is an avid poet, leaving meaning to be inferred and porous on both the canvas as well as in her writing. Cabral works with a range of scales, depending on the intimacy of the piece. Recently, Cabral has leaned into art-making as a philosophical inquiry while pursuing doctoral research in Expressive Arts at The European Graduate School, Europe is a large inspiration in her works.
