Gabby Severson

  • Interdisciplinary 2026

Gabby Severson is a mixed Indigenous visual artist working across photography, beadwork, basketry, and sculpture.

Rooted in her Oregon upbringing, her work engages themes of identity, memory, and culture, drawing inspiration from her Siletz lineage. Severson leans into the tensions of contemporary Indigenous life, exploring the complexities, contradictions, and questions that emerge from existing between histories and lived experience.
She earned her BFA from Parsons School of Design and MFA from California College of the Arts. She has exhibited her work in group shows at The ICA San Francisco, SOMArts, Oregon Contemporary, and the Fine Arts Gallery at San Francisco State University.
