ABOUT 

JOYA MUKERJEE LOGUE


Joya Mukerjee Logue (b. 1976, Springfield, Ohio) is an American painter of Indian heritage whose work explores the atmosphere of human connection. Working primarily in oil and watercolor, she composes intimate scenes of gatherings, glances, and social thresholds, rendered in a luminous palette that heightens mood over narrative. Mukerjee Logue gathers visual cues from lived experience and collected imagery, then develops scenes shaped by light, tone, and the subtle charge of being together.

Mukerjee Logue holds degrees in biology, chemistry, and psychology from St. Mary’s College in Indiana, where she first began working in the studio. Her artistic formation developed through sustained, largely self-directed study, drawing on the observational discipline of the sciences and the perceptual acuity of psychology.
