Puckett grew up in Dallas, Texas, and although he is an artist, he will always be an angler first and foremost. However, his passion for painting quickly emerged as the other central part of his life and by high school graduation he combined both passions to create the Art of Paul Puckett. At the University of North Texas, he found his niche through his idea of catch and release paintings. He recreated the fish, the fly, the hands, the fly rod and whatever else the client desired. In a world of catch and release fishing, these ‘fish portraits’ were the best alternative to mounting the fish. When Paul graduated from college he moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and there continued his life as an angling artist. His art has evolved to include more scenic pieces in watercolor and oils and has been published in magazines such as Sporting Classics, The Drake, and Texas Parks and Wildlife. His art has been sold at auctions throughout Georgia, Texas and Wyoming; including the Jackson Hole Ducks Unlimited, the Jackson Hole Trout Unlimited, the Texas Parks and Wildlife, the Dallas area Ducks Unlimited, Atlanta Redbone and the Atlanta Nature Conservancy.
