Linsey Gray Puckett is a fine artist and designer based in Asheville, NC
In her renewed art practice, Linsey draws inspiration from the more solemn moments in nature. Intentionally selecting materials that challenge perfectionism, her austere landscapes, reminiscent of Western North Carolina’s foggy balds and trails, invite viewers to take a deep breath and embrace any uncertainties ahead. Her pieces range from traditional framed art to textiles, acoustic paneling, and wallcoverings.
Currently, her work can be found in-person and online at Atomic Furnishing & Design in Asheville, Splashworks in High Point, and in her downtown Asheville studio at Resurrection Studios Collective.
Charcoal and Pastel on Wood
A Full Circle Journey
After nearly 15 years of graphic, editorial, and interior design work, Linsey has found her way back to her art practice with original offerings supported by uniquely layered skillsets. Her work history spans various mediums and methods, forming a portfolio diverse in discipline.
Linsey spent much of her childhood with pencil or paintbrush in hand. Art was the clear direction until anxieties of a “career path” set in. After one year as a Studio Art and Design major, Linsey turned her focus to the built environment and earned a BFA in Interior Architecture.
Expecting to begin her professional career in the interior design field, her path took a sudden pivot into the world of print and marketing. Serving Graphic Designer and Creative Director roles, she worked closely with local, regional, and national brands on everything from branding, to packaging, to signage.
While learning to balance her time between agency and freelance work, a new opportunity to serve as the Art Director for trade publications Designers Today, Home Accents Today, and other titles reignited her love for interiors.
For more than a decade, Linsey fought through self-inflicted pressure to choose between graphic and interior design disciplines until she gradually began to combine her varied skill sets, allowing her to consider each project from a more holistic perspective and overlap services as needed.
From logo, to print collateral, to physical place of business, Linsey and collaborative colleagues have strengthened clients’ connections with their customers through creative, communicative, and cohesive experiences.
Linsey’s focus has shifted again—this time back toward her earliest passions.
Today, she approaches fine art and surface design through a seasoned lens, drawing from a diverse set of creative skills and experiences.
