Chessney Sevier – A Year of Sundays

A great source of Chessney Sevier’s artistic aspiration comes from her mother’s artistic example and the simple beauty of the Nebraska Sandhills where she grew up. On a rodeo scholarship, Chessney attended Chadron State College and later graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Fine Art in 1998. She first began her artistic career as a graphic designer for a leading outdoor recreation company. Later, after moving to Wyoming in 2001, she became a full-time professional painter and printmaker. Today, the Wyoming landscape and culture influence her work more than anything else. Chessney and her daughter Jymie live outside Buffalo, Wyoming.
