I invite You to pause, breathe and embrace awe for a few minutes. Welcome to my world of lines and shapes and color. I'm an impressionistic Texas artist who paints feelings. Nature’s drama. Life's small, quiet moments. With pastels, oils, watercolors and drawings, I chase everyday magic found in West Texas skies, desert mountains, pastures of wild flowers and wild Texas critters. My art takes you off the beaten path, often into territory landscaped in memories. It brings nature indoors. I believe You deserve art in your life, so I paint for You.
If I had but two loaves of bread, I would sell one and buy hyacinths, for they would feed my soul. ~ ancient wisdom

Artist Lindy Cook Severns paints wild beauty: forests and mountain streams; bluebonnets and butterflies; rolling pastures in hill country and central Texas, and the vast, high desert ranch lands of Far West Texas and the rugged borderlands of Big Bend country. Her art hangs in most every state in the USA and in corporate and international collections. She is featured in the 2016 PBS documentary WESTERN PERSPECTIVE, and in the definitive book TEXAS TRADITIONS, CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS OF THE LONE STAR STATE (Hallsten-McGarrity/Duty 2010), The impressionist southwest painter spent more than two decades fulltime RV-ing, with her studio a rustic building on a remote working ranch in the Davis Mountains near Ft Davis and Marfa. Lindy and Jim, a stubbornly affectionate rescued Lhasa Apso and a cranky African Grey parrot who passionately loves art now call the broken pastures and rolling hills of central Texas 'home". Named a Borderlands Research Institute Big Bend Artist for Conservation, Severns was honored as the 2020 Distinguished Alumna for the College of Arts & Sciences of Texas Tech University.
Lindy has "an amazing ability to capture both the bold colors and dramatic formations of the far West Texas landscape, but also the subtle variations in light and shading... she can skillfully present the grandest of vistas, but she also equally masters the most delicate details of sand, rock, and grass. She is particularly adept at painting the western sky in all of its drama and color. When I look at Lindy’s work, I feel an immediate kinship with her vision and love of the western landscape." - Michael Duty: author, art historian, museum director, Director of Art of the American West for Heritage Auction Gallery
"You capture West Texas among the elite artists-" David P., collector of fine Western Art, Austin, Texas

"Seventh-generation Texan. Pilot. 4th-degree black belt. Painter of skies that stop you cold. Lindy Cook Severns spent over two decades chasing sunsets before putting down roots in Central Texas. Largely self-taught, her instantly recognizable style bursts with color, energy, and emotional depth. She was honored as the 2020 Distinguished Alumni for the College of Arts & Sciences at Texas Tech University and featured on PBS as an innovator in Western art.
Every experience feeds her brush – the cockpit, the dojo, the wild country.
As she puts it: 'It's only paint. Yet, when applied with loving skill, paint can generate magic that soars far beyond the canvas.' "
