A 12-year-old Gorham boy will be exhibiting 20 of his drawings at the Gorham Grind Sept. 1 through Oct. 1.
The artist, Logan Marshall, a seventh-grader at Gorham Middle School, will be holding an opening night reception for his show, which is titled “A Boy’s Brain,” from 4 to 6 p.m. Sept. 8.
Earlier this summer, Marshall approached the owner of The Gorham Grind with the idea of exhibiting some of his ink drawings, and the owner liked both his drawings and his enthusiasm. After show dates were decided, Logan got to work on his show completing over 40 pieces.
“All Summer I’ve been working on pieces to put in this show,” Marshall said in his artist’s statement hanging with the show. “In the end, I picked my 20 best so here they are, hope you like them! I want to thank Joe here at the Gorham Grind for letting me put my
work up on the walls of his coffee shop, my parents for supporting me and helping me with supplies and other things that were necessary for my show to be complete, Jeremy Green from the Art Guru here in Gorham for hooking me up with my paper and pens and my sister Jackson for helping me with names for my pieces and laughing and giving me feedback on my drawings. This has been such a fun project and I hope it’s just as fun for you to see as it was for me to draw.”
With money raised from the show, Marshall plans to pay for his own plane tickets to Universal Studios this fall. For more information, contact Marshall at 839-8743.
