Gwen Severson

Real Estate Wizard

Gwen has lived in Paso Robles for 23 years with her husband Dave. They have two children, Emma and Nolan, both of whom attended the Paso Robles Youth Arts Center when they were young. Gwen is a Business Economics graduate of UCLA and has worked in business sales and marketing since she graduated.

After relocating to the Paso Robles area, Gwen got into Real Estate and started her business and her commitment to the community. Raising her children in the Paso Robles Public Schools allowed Gwen to be involved in the classrooms that they were in, but also be a part of school site councils. She volunteered as an Art Docent in the classroom throughout their elementary school years, and she served on the Board of the Paso Robles Education Alliance Board for 5 years, raising much-needed funds for teachers and students in the district.

In addition to her role on the Board of the Youth Arts, Gwen currently also serves on the Board of Success Charities and is Chair of the Swim Paso Association. She has a passion for helping the youth in the community, be it through the arts, sports, or the education system. “The Youth Arts is an incredible place for children to explore so many areas of the arts in a supportive and creative environment that compliments their academic learning in school. San Luis Obispo County is fortunate to have such a magical place serving so many children, and hopefully, it can continue to gain momentum and support to serve more children for years to come.“
