Cris launched Cris Logan Art in 2017. Although Cris always dabbled in art as a youth, like most creatives, she pursued a more "traditional" path, working in communications and public policy on Internet safety and anti-human trafficking issues for over a decade. When she had her children, she took a step back from her career and began painting for her own home and kids.
Friends began asking for commissioned work, and at the end of 2015, Cris began posting her daily doodles on her Instagram page. In late 2016, Cris began working with PR Group BrandGuild, doing brand-based illustrations of their clients including SweetGreen, Scout Bags, &Pizza, Drybar, the J.Crew Men's Shop and Soulcyle. She also began creating illustrations for brands including Christian Dior, Tod's, I. Gorman Jewelers, Bloomingdales, Illesteva, the Washingtonian, Capitol File, Washington Life and DC Modern Luxury Magazines, Sotheby's, Arena Stage, Aromachology, The Fleisher Group, and more. Cris works with stylists, bloggers and other creative types to create unique illustrations and portraits for their websites and social media platforms.
Cris also enjoys creating bespoke on-site live illustrations, guest portraiture, "Mommy and Me" sketches, pet sketches, customized sunglass cases, perfume bottles and gift boxes, and event venue paintings. She has sketched at many weddings, mitzvahs, launch parties, branding and corporate events. She provides live event illustration for clients including the Washingtonian, Bloomingdales, Illesteva, Favored by Yodit, Roche Bobois, Vida Fitness, Old Towne Pet Resort, the Yards Park, DC Modern Luxury Magazine, HITT Contracting, perfume and makeup brands and many private clients.
