Courtney Puckett is a Hudson Valley visual artist. In work that integrates both theories and methodologies of fine art and craft, she transforms domestic cast-offs such as old furniture, household goods, and textiles into abstract, human-size assemblages.

Puckett was an Artist-in-Residence in LMCC’s Workspace Program, a Full Fellowship recipient at the Vermont Studio Center, and an Artist-in-Residence in Community Research with River Valley Arts Collective. She has an extensive exhibition record, collaborated with Neville Dance Studio for Norte Maar’s “Counterpointe” series at Brooklyn Ballet, and curated “Drawing for Sculpture” a 40-person exhibition at TSA NY. Puckett has been featured in ArtFCity, Hyperallergic, Painting is Dead, Tribeca Tribune, and NYTimes art blog.
