Linsey Gray Puckett is a fine artist and designer based in Asheville, NC
Seeking escape from the pressures of her design career, Linsey revisited her earliest passion. One day while cleaning her workspace, she came across leftover sheets of birch and basswood from school—you know, when architectural models were still handmade. Curious how charcoal would work on wood, she discovered its unique textures and unpredictability, offering the creative therapy she had been longing for.
Embracing intuition and imperfection, Linsey’s art explores finding peace in moments of discomfort. From making each batch of charcoal to meticulously applying a cold wax finish and building every frame, her entire process has evolved into a deeply cathartic practice.
Linsey’s studio is located at Resurrection Studios Collective just north of Downtown Asheville in Five Points—an up-and-coming area that blends chic, camp, retro nostalgia, and creative history.
Beyond the easel, Linsey continues to put her design skills to use, translating select artworks across home textiles, bespoke furnishings, and wallcoverings. She and her husband live in a cozy A-frame just outside the city with their 4-yr-old daughter and three dogs.

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.
The Longer Story
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 shifts 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.
