As part of the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, G&G invites guests to the magazine’s headquarters for a compelling conversation on Southern ecology and conservation, complete with complimentary Shine Girl cocktails and culinary bites from Sevierville, Tennessee’s Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant.
G&G editor in chief David DiBenedetto chats with renowned outdoor artist Paul Puckett about the influence of the natural world on his art, the stories behind his pieces, and his experiences fly fishing across the globe.
Paul Puckett, born in 1975 in Dallas, Texas, was raised in a creatively rich environment, influenced by his father’s passion for Flamenco guitar and his mother’s quilting artistry. Summers spent fishing with his grandfathers in East Texas shaped his lifelong love of the outdoors. After studying art at the University of North Texas, Puckett worked in Dallas’ fly fishing scene before moving to Jackson, Wyoming, where his love of nature deepened. Now based in Charleston, South Carolina, Puckett continues to blend his passions for art and fishing, enjoying Lowcountry life with his wife Sara and their two dogs, Norman and Willie Nelson.
