Student Artist of the Month at Gallery 510

Gallery 510 Art & Framing will be featuring one student from a Central Illinois high school each month along with the professional featured artist at the gallery. Before the gallery artist begins to talk about their work at each First Friday Gallery Walk, we will introduce the “Student of the Month” and show their piece of artwork that will remain on display throughout the month.

“Logan Hallam, who is 14 years old, loves to create. When he was two years old, he was given a project to paste paper strips onto a white piece of paper to create a design. Unlike the other students, he folded the paper strips and built a three-dimensional house that stood off the page. Logan spends his free time turning wood on a lathe, collecting wildflowers to make various types of honey, and painting, among other crafts.

He started painting with Mr. James Powell two years ago. He began with oil painting as it seemed more forgiving and adjustable over time. Most recently, he has enjoyed working with watercolors. Logan loves that watercolor helps him reach his final product quickly. Whether painting, crafting, woodworking, or baking, Logan is happy creating something for others to enjoy.”

Logan is home-schooled by his mom, Jami Hallam.
