Joya Mukerjee Logue’s painting is deeply rooted in her dual heritage, blending Indian and American influences to explore themes of memory, identity, and belonging. Raised in Ohio with regular visits to her ancestral home in Ambala, Haryana, she draws inspiration from the intimate spaces and familial connections that have shaped her understanding of home.
Her work often features women in everyday settings, depicted in muted tones and layered compositions that evoke a sense of nostalgia and continuity. Through oil and watercolor on paper, Mukerjee Logue captures the essence of domestic life and the subtle dynamics of familial relationships, reflecting her personal journey and the collective histories of her lineage.
By intertwining personal narratives with broader cultural contexts, her paintings serve as a meditation on the passage of time and the enduring bonds that define one's sense of self and place. ...
