Dodie Logue is an abstract painter living in Minnesota, where she has a studio in an old dairy barn. Her work is colorful and uses pattern and layers in a process-based approach. She received her BA from the University of Minnesota, and an MFA from Bard College.


The landscape and crafts, especially textiles, are influences. She uses traditional materials, oil or acrylic paint on canvas. With these she straddles control and spontaneity using a variety of techniques - painting with brushes taped to long sticks, pouring thinned paint, using squeegees, painting flat on the ground - this is to break her hold of control and to allow the process to unfold and lead. In 2022 she retired from her freelance work as a bird-guide for a nature-travel company to focus full time on her art.


Dodie has exhibited regionally and nationally, and has been awarded Minnesota State Arts Board Grants (2012, 21, 22) and grants from the Central Minnesota Arts Board (2011,13, 20). She has received a residency award from the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming. The Minnesota Museum of American Art and Vision Northland Hospital both made recent acquisitions of her work for their permanent collections. She collaborated with her sister, writer and poet Mary Logue, on two books of images and poetry: Trees, 2014, and Terra Incognita, in 2024.
