ART QUEENS SOCIETY MEMBER

Lian Sever

I was born in Tel Aviv and raised in metro Washington, DC where I still live with my husband, three kids, and dog.I have been drawn to art and everything creative since I was a child. I attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration. While in college, I was drawn to some of the great illustrative artists of the past such as Rockwell, Parrish, Klimt, Mucha, and Thiebaud. This is when I fell in love with the human form. However, that love lay dormant for more than 25 years until the pandemic struck and I realized that I had the energy and passion to be a full time provider, mom and artist.I am an artist who loves to bring a narrative to my work, often combining motifs from my youth and sparks of inspiration from pop culture. When I’m not busy running around with my kids, you can often find me barefoot in my home studio sipping coffee, listening to a podcast with my dog, Ziggy, at my feet, surrounded by houseplants, painting or daydreaming and getting lost in my imagination. It is in these special moments that I go on journeys and get an urge to express myself and tell a story. Sometimes the story is about a character that moved and inspired me with their actions and efforts in life. Sometimes I hear a song that takes me to a magical place. Many times, the characters are built from the memories of growing up. Nostalgia creeps into my art as I share glimpses of the people that have molded me and moments that I just want to hold onto, and so, I paint them to share those stories with you.
